Album of the Year 1984 - nomination phase
« on: July 24, 2011, 09:07:08 AM »
Rules:
-Post your 5 favorite albums from 1984; the order does not matter.  If you only like less than 5, list those.  Just no more than 5.
-List the band name first and then the album name.  Like this: Band name - Album name
-If you change your mind, edit your original post.  Do not post them again. 
-Only studio and live albums will be counted; no best of, compilations, etc.
-Posts that you do not follow these rules will not be counted.

Nomination phase will last two days.

Prince and the Revolution - Purple Rain
Rush - Grace Under Pressure
U2 - The Unforgettable Fire
Van Halen - 1984
The Cars - Heartbeat City

Tough leaving off:

Metallica - Ride the Lightning (this will get more than enough votes from others)
Bruce Springsteen - Born in the U.S.A.
Judas Priest - Defenders of the Faith (same logic as Metallica)
Triumph - Thunder Seven
SRV - Couldn't Stand the Weather

This is gonna be a toughie.

Judas Priest- Defenders Of The Faith
Survivor- Vital Signs (greatest AOR album ever IMO)
Yngwie Malmsteen- Rising force
Rush- Grace Under Pressure
Queensryche- The Warning

It's pained me to leave these albums out. Any of them could be in my top 5 for the year really- a great year- but it's going to be like this from now on. These were my formative years in music- a golden age. The 90s were a non-entity.

DIO- The Last In Line
Deep Purple- Perfect Strangers
Iron Maiden- Powerslave
Gary Moore- We Want Moore
Y&T- In Rock WE Trust
KISS- Animalize
Foreigner- Agent Provocateur
Bryan Adams- Reckless (Remember when BA rocked?)
Bon Jovi- ST
Van Halen- 1984
whitesnake- Slide It In
europe- Wings of Tomorrow
manOwar- Hail To England and Sign Of The hammer
Scorpions- Love At First Sting
W.A.S.P.- ST

Sea of Love is in my 80s playlist and usually makes it on to the 80s compilation CDs I make for my car.  I remember the Rockin' at Midnight cover, too.  Never heard the rest.

At the Time of the late 70's early 80's I was a rabid Zep fan, like I am with DT now.  So I listened to EVERYTHING Page or Plant came out with.  From the crappy Death Wish 2 soundtrack, to the Honeydrippers.  I really wasn't a big fan, my tastes those days were heavier for sure.  Great album though.
