The "Second British Invasion" and a notable supergroup lead the way for album rock in 1982. The Wall motion picture also released.
Events that shaped Album Rock during that year
British Invasion II Begins
The latter half of 1982 saw the "second British invasion" of the American music scene. An influx of new Rock bands from Great Britain - and 2 from Australia - won the hearts of Rock fans in America and helped cement the "Rock of the 80's" sound.

Asia Makes Its Mark The group Asia brings "super group" into the Rock mainstream. Made up of star members from other groups, Asia impacted the Rock world with their enormously successful debut album in 1982. Super groups became more numerous later in the 1980's, but Asia gets credit for starting the trend. |

...And The First Track To Rank Number One On Both The Rock And Pop Charts Was... ...Centerfold by the J. Geils Band. The feat was accomplished during the February 6th issue of Billboard, as it reached number one on the Hot 100 after previously topping the Album Rock Tracks for 3 weeks starting January 16th. Ironically, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts' I Love Rock And Roll followed Centerfold at number one on both charts! The rise of Rock hits also becoming Pop hits was partly due to the demise of Disco 3 years earlier. |

The Film The Wall Released 1982 marked the release of the band Pink Floyd's motion picture The Wall. The film, based on music from their 1980 album of the same name, chronicles a "loner" rock musician who literally goes insane, due to his father's death. The name The Wall refers in the film to the physical and emotional wall the lead character builds around himself. As expected, the film became a "cult" classic among rock music fans. |
