Albums of the Year - 1984

 The Year of my A Levels. Here's the Best Ever Albums List:

1. Prince & The Revolution - 1999

2. The Smiths - The Smiths

3. Metallica - Ride The Lightning

4. Bruce Springsteen - Born In The U.S.A

5. The Replacements - Let It Be

6. The Smiths - Hatful Of Hollow

7. Minutemen - Double Nickels On The Dime

8. Bob Marley & The Wailers - Legend

9. Husker Du - Zen Arcade

10. Echo & The Bunnymen - Ocean Rain

And here's mine. Hatful Of Hollow is out as a compilation rather than a Studio Album, even though it has a good claim to be their best album. Rattlesnakes tops the list as it hit at just the right time for me. Just from records I own. Wish I had Double Nickels as it would surely be Top Five:

1. Lloyd Cole & The Commotions - Rattlesnakes


2. R.E.M. - Reckoning



3. Prince & The Revolution - 1999


4.  The Replacements - Let It Be


5. The Go-Betweens - Spring Hill Fair


6. The Smiths - The Smiths


7.. Julian Cope - World Shut Your Mouth


8. Everything But The Girl - Eden


9. Husker Du - Zen Arcade


10. Echo & The Bunnymen - Ocean Rain


11. David Sylvian - Brilliant Trees


12. The Pogues - Red Roses For Me


13. The Dream Syndicate -  Medicine Show


14. Let's Active - Cypress


15. Long Ryders - Native Sons


16. Hoodoo Gurus - Stoneage Romeos


17. Madonna - Like A Virgin


18. The Psychedelic Furs - Mirror Moves


19. The Pale Fountains - Pacific Street


20. Prefab Sprout - Swoon



Honorary mentions for How Will The Wolf Survive, The Icicle Works and Fried, (for some reason I have a one album, one artist rule),
