5 greatest 80s albums (61 replies)
5 80s albums that I still return to now:
Gentlemen take Polaroids - Japan.
Wonderful album, took me 3 years to get into it after release. It reminds me vividly of the summer of 1983. Still sounds as good today.
Rio - Duran Duran
Full of light and optimism, a great source of comfort after a few drinks during lockdown. An album that prompted me gel my hair, put on a fresh shirt and hit the Birmingham night life in the 80's
Dare - The Human League
A masterpiece from start to finish, a definitive house party album from the 80's still beautiful and uplifting.
Non Stop Erotic Cabaret-Soft Cell
A darker underlying theme to the others with much of it focusing on sex, addiction and Vice. Brilliant and reminds me of early days at secondary school.
Dolittle - Pixies
Quite possibly the album I've returned to most over the years. Wonderful, influential and unforgettable.
