Fiale Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Joshua Tree U2 close runner ups The Queen is dead - The Smiths, The River - Bruce Springsteen, Substance - New Order, Stone Roses - Stone Roses, but there are so many great 80's albums... 100's of them.

I would add The Stone Roses, The Smiths debut, Sound Affects by The Jam, George Best by The Wedding Present, to name but a few.

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Almost too many to mention, but my favourites were: A Pagan Place by the Waterboys (or This is the Sea, for that matter) If I Should Fall From Grace With God by the Pogues Raintown by Deacon Blue St Julian by Julian Cope In My Tribe by 10,000 Maniacs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 A great decade and the one I first really began to obsess with music. At the start if the decade my favourite albums would probably have been John Foxx - Metamatic and the first Psychedelic Furs album. Midway through it would be The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead, and by the end I was just playing dance 12" white labels. The 80s album I probably listen to the most these days is Julian Cope - World Shut Your Mouth*. This has some very deep and personal significances for me. * Not the album with the single of the same name on it. That came later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, the Oracle of Truth only puts it 2nd on claimed, not certified, sales. Still a load of cack in my view, mind. The album that is, not Wikipedia.

Only got to see Cope live once, at the Studio, mid 80s I would guess. Brilliant performer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
