	Okay, here are my choices -- This is what I think is the
	best of Top 40 stuff in '83:

	Best New Group -- Big Country
	Best Male Vocalist -- Michael Jackson
	Best Female Vocalist -- Bonnie Tyler
	Best Song -- Total Eclipse of the Heart, Bonnie Tyler
	Other Best Song -- Little Red Corvette, Prince
	Best Rock Video -- Pink Houses, John Cougar
	Other Best Rock Video -- Thriller, Michael Jackson
	Other Other Best Rock Video -- Human Touch, Rick Springfield
	Best Group -- Elton John Band


	And, as for Thriller, I liked it a lot.  Of course the
	special effects were hackneyed, that's the point.  The
	song and the video are tributes to horror films.  As
	such, they work very well.  Michael makes a much better
	Zombie than a Werewolf, though.
