Eddy's 80s Grooves Part 6 (Best Of 1982)

So many sounds that defined the decade emerged in 1982 -- Thriller, of course, and also 1999, Rio, and The Lexicon of Love, Grandmaster Flash's groundbreaking "The Message," not to mention scores of new wave singles that crossed over thanks to the wild success of MTV and the clones that appeared in its wake.” (Allmusic.com)

Music critic Dan Carins described ‘The Message’ by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five in a 2008 edition of The Sunday Times: 

"Not only does the song utilize an ingenious mix of musical genres to great effect, but it also allows the slow and pulsating beat to take a backseat to the stark and haunting lyrical content."
