Torrent Prefab Sprout 2013

On at Maybe, but it should be the following: Stone Roses debut Smiths Queen is Dead Replacements Let it Be Echo – Ocean Rain Jane’s Addiction Nothing Shocking Clash Sandinista Love and Rockets Express REM Murmur X Los Angeles English Beat Special Beat Service Specials the Specials However, my guess is that only the Smiths QID will make the top ten. Seriously, can anyone deny that any of these albums aren’t in the top 10 or so of the 80s?

Only Cure or D-Mode addicts would have an issue with them (and to be honest, neither band ever put out a track for track classic. Well, maybe the cure). On at hey Andy, I missed that Rolling Stone review but I’d like to read it!

I got turned on to the album through a really cool Beggars Banquet compilation from around that time, called “One Pound Ninety-Nine.” It had quite a lineup of bands: the Fall; both Nico and John Cale; Bauhaus, Love and Rockets and Peter Murphy; the Icicle Works; and the Cult’s “Nirvana.” I bought “Love” not too long after. As I’ve commented elsewhere, the subsequent “Electric” album and its stripped-down, AC/DC-ish production by Rick Rubin was a HUGE letdown after “Love.”. On at Hey Andy, I don’t have that Beggars sampler anymore, although I could assemble an iTunes playlist of most of the songs. There are copies on Amazon so you should take a look at it just to appreciate its coolness.

It also had tracks by the Ramones, Gene Loves Jezebel, the Bolshoi, and some outfit called the Hank Wangford Band who were English but did country/western (?!?!). I think my friends and I always lifted the needle after that track. 8-P Overall it was a killer sampler though — good memories! On at Hey, lotus. Couldn’t reply below, so will try here.

Yeah, I’ve never owned “Electric.” The cover alone had me going, “WTF?!” Especially that Davy Crockett hat of Ian’s. But I know a lot of people here love it, including said cover, and are thrilled about the “Electric Peace” release. I didn’t dislike “Love Removal Machine,” but seeing “Born to Be Wild” listed on the album, plus the new hairdos and rock poses, made “Love” seem like it was done by a totally different band. But they did nab a lot of Billy Idol fans opening up for him, which wasn’t a bad thing. Maybe I need to spin “Peace” a few times to finally get into “Electric,” but am fine playing “Love” regularly. Played the ’94 album all the time when it came out. Thought that was pretty much filler-free and such a killer jacket.

Man, that cover ranks up there with “Love,” “Seance,” and “Priest”! (Cue pre-1986 Poll excitement for “Heyday”!) No luck here finding that “Love” review online, but if I ever unearth that issue in my garage, will be sure to let you know. And what a Beggars compilation!

Do you still have it?! On at I’m sure this’ll be the unpopular opinion but it seems like people are voting for what they think is cool and not what they actually bought in 1985. I’ve also noticed it on the other polls as well. I’ll admit that “Meat Is Murder” was a great album but it was one, along with the other Smiths albums, that I didn’t discover until I was much older. I’m not here to defend the artistic merit of The Thompson Twins but a heel of a lot more people bought “Future Days” in ’85 than “Meat Is Murder”. Maybe my thinking is a little skewered here and I apologize for that but Kate Bush over “Once Upon A Time” by Simple Minds?

I know popularity doesn’t mean greatness but neither does obscurity. Mainstream doesn’t always mean uncool and obscure doesn’t always mean classic. That being said “Listen Like Thieves” & “Songs From The Big Chair” are excellent selections and should’ve been 1 & 2. Howard jones “Dream Into Action” (while not as good as the criminally underrated “Human’s Lib”) should’ve gotten a little bit more love. On at I think you’re forgetting that a decent portion of readers here are younger than you or people who were actually old enough to be buying music in 1985.

I was 3 in 1985, thus my votes are for bands that I’ve come to learn from reading mags like The Big Takeover and sites like this as well as bands/artists today who were influenced by the bands/artists that appear on these voting lists. Quite frankly I’m not surprised by anything in the voting results.

Vegas odds would probably align with the final tally. Aside from Jesus & Mary Chain being that high, which seems like a minor surprise.

I figured they’d end up where the Replacements ended up. Otherwise I don’t know what is surprising about the list. Did you expect for Top 40 radio bands to appear here? This probably isn’t the site for that.

On at You know, this keeps coming up after I post these poll results the idea of whether you’re supposed to be voting for what you listened to back then vs. What you feel has stood the test of time. I’ve never specified which, because I don’t think it matters. Vote for the albums you love. There’s no right or wrong answer. For what it’s worth, I always envisioned — even if I never specified — that people would be voting how they feel now, not how they felt then. But it doesn’t really matter.

Just vote for your favorites. On at Thanks for the clarification. I was 12 in 1980 and still listening to my friends older brother’s Zep, Rush, Floyd and Ozzie records and I thought ac/dc was the greatest band of all time.

It was in 83 when I was turned on to U2 and New Order and my music world changed completely. I wasn’t listening to the albums of 80, 81 or 82 in those years but many many on those lists are cherished records that have stood the test of time.

83 is the first year that I was actually listening to the albums on the SUE lists and still some of my favorites back then have not stood the test of time (Kajagoogoo, Duran, Hojo). Regardless this polling is a blast and I am in the process of listening to all 10 top albums today.
