1982 was a good year for music and band shirts. 1982 saw the release of come truely classic 80s albums including Michael Jackson's Thriller, Duran Duran's Rio and Prince's 1999.

The best of the thing that came out of 1982 from the band shirt perspective was the series of shirts for Pink Floyd's file The Wall. While it's true that by 1982 Pink Floyd wasn't the band remember from Dark Side of the Moon they did put out some fine shirts. Presented here are three fine examples, all of a similar style that were released in 82. Shirt #768 (pictured left), shirt #1374 and shirt #1385.

If you think back to classic 80s bands you can't ignore Duran Duran. In 1982 they released their essential album Rio. Here are a couple Duran Duran shirts from that year, shirt #1454 (the album cover) and shirt #1453, one of their tour shirts.

As promised, here is a great 1982 Grateful Dead shirt. The design is by David Lundquist, This shirt is a personal favorite because I own it.

The last band shirts from 1982 I want to feature come from Ozzy Osbourne. If you were into 70s and 80s heavy metal they I can virtually guarentee you had an Ozzy Osbourne or Black Sabbath shirt; which is awesome because Ozzy had some great shirts from that period. Here are a couple shirts from that infamous year; biting the head off a bat on stage equals infamy in my book. Shirt #763 is a really sweet bat wing design and pretty rare from what I've seen. Here is a much more common shirt from 1982, archive shirt #1365, Ozzy's head being held up high by an executioner.
