The question was which song, not the artist, because that was obviously you.

Indeed, the question is which song; my clarifications that you can discount the artist and the personage are just bonus information.

Some good guesses. Time for a clue (or two):
- The song is from a well known album released during the 80s 70s; the group had several well known albums through the 70s and 80s.
- The person mentioned is real, not fictional.

No, and not the Police or Sting for either person or artist. However, since your guess was following my slightly faulty clue (now corrected) I'm counting that guess void; feel free to guess again without waiting for others first, if you wish.Old Bridge wrote: ↑06:55 Wed 29 Mar 2017 Every Breath You Take, Police/Sting

Is Axel mentioned in the song?
This is too big a topic to cover. Do you know that in 1979, 800 albums (reckoned as the best) were released?
I'll wait for more clues.

That depends on your interests as a young man. In 1987 I would have bought Verdis Rigoletto - Wiener Philharmoniker- Giulini.
Seriously though, in London 1987 Bad, Michael Jackson.

Would it help to know that I'm a 1972 vintage? I'd guesstimate that Queen Greatest Hits is the closest so far from a time perspective.
