I dare you to name me a better 80s pop album.

Prefab Sprout - Steve McQueen

Literally impossible.

Why that over Purple Rain?

1999 had more of a pop vibe than Purple Rain.

They say that when Prince set out to make 1999 he was specifically trying to make his most pop-sounding album to date. Something that would appeal the most to the masses.

Architecture and Morality.

Songs from the Big Chair [Mercury, 1985]

Never one to pay much mind to the plaints of English lads with synthesizers, I got duly annoyed at the surface and let it go at that. Imagine my surprise when I discerned substance underneath--uncommon command of guitar and piano, Baker Street sax, synthesizers more jagged than is deemed mete by the arbiters of dance-pop accessibility. Even found a lyric that went "We are paid by those who live by our mistakes," not bad at all. Yet in the end the surface is still annoying--not so much pretentious as portentous, promising a depth and drama English lads have been falling short on since the dawn of progressive rock. B

>>68369892
Too bad that album is horribly plagued by 80s wind tunnel mix (TM).

>>68374439
Could have also stood to cut down the song lengths a bit.

Wrong.
Reverb and gated drums ftw.

Literally god-tier 80's pop.

The benchmark

Any Billy Joel album.
