This was the worst year of the 80s without a dispute. Live Aid

the mid 80s in general were so much worse than the very early 80s and very late 80s

It was a damn good year

Hip-hop isn't music though.

Plenty of great metal albums if you like metal. Other forms of rock kinda sucked in 1985 specifically I guess.

They were. I blame it on the pop culture in general being relatively weak in mid-decade.

Kate Bush - Hounds of Love
The Replacements - Tim
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - The Firstborn is Dead
The Pogues - Rum, Sodomy and the Lash
Husker Du - New Day Rising
The Smiths - Meat is Murder
Sade - Promise
Tears for Fears - Songs from the Big Chair
Sonic Youth - Bad Moon Rising
The Jesus and Mary Chain - Psychocandy
Tom Waits - Rain Dogs
The Cure - The Head on the Door

that's a few pretty brilliant albums??

Oil & Gold by Shriekback is the most important thing ever released so no

>>73845242
Hounds of Love, Meat is Murder and Rain Dogs

>>73845242
The Chameleons - What Does Anything Mean? Basically tho

Pre-NWA/Public Enemy hip-hop has aged like shit. Those artists aged like shit too but slightly less so.

80s haircuts were awful; they made women look 45 when they were 20.
