Original Record of the Year: Phil Fearon & Galaxy - What Do I Do
The Top of the Pops reruns from 1984 helped with my decision to pick this record. By my calculations they were happening around the same time I made this pick so I was sort of reliving 1984 at the time.
Another factor was what Phil Fearon did next. He started Production House records which was part of the rave scene and his wife Dee Fearon was the singer of Baby D.
However my favourite records in the moment aren't always my favourite records when looking back
New Record of the Year: The Alarm - Where Were You Hiding When The Storm Broke
In the last year or so I've listened to this record a fair bit but don't think I've listened to the Phil Fearon record at all. On that basis I must like The Alarm record more these days.
In a decade that gave us lots of electronic music I was reluctant to pick a guitar record as my record of the year. I definitely knew this record at the time which means I don't remember if it appeared on Top of the Pops or not.
What I like about this record is that it has a good pace to it but is also a good singalong record to backing vocals in the chorus.
