Also go with No 1 when you were 18 and 21.
A friend of mine did this for his 40th and everyone was a classic.
Are you having a theme - 30 years ago is 1980 which is probably the most eclectic year for music - end of Punk and Disco as major chart forces, a lot of New Wave and comedy records and the start of NWOBHM and New Romantics.
Have a look at the charts for that year and pick any that have become favs and start from there.
You can find the charts at either
Every Hit (Top 40) or
Chart Stats.
