I'm no big U2 fan, but you have to respect the murk of Unforgettable Fire. But the correct answer here is Double Nickels.

Ouch... yeah, very big omission.

if I go with the album I loved the most at the time it would be Zen Arcade

Between 1984 and Swoon for me, going with the former

Goddamn the 1980s were amazing.

Lots of great things here, but I feel compelled to choose "The Painted Word" just in case no-one else does.

They mostly were, although there's a lot of shit, too, like there has been in every decade.
Curiosity Killed the Cat, for example.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Went sentimentally for Let It Be. There's a load of great albums in there but nothing that jumped out at me like in 82.

Minutemen? Really?

I think people were just convinced at their allegation that it was based on Pink Floyd's "Ummagumma". Because really who wouldn't vote for that?

Would've voted for Depeche Mode in 1984 but went with Blue Nile, that album is timeless.
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Friday, 17 May 2019 02:39 (four years ago) link
35 votes for Minneapolis-Saint Paul

I missed this poll too, and I would've totally voted for Brilliant Trees! Fuck!

8 for Arvo Pärt? Nice!

I've tried getting into Zen Arcade and Double Nickels on the Dime repeatedly, in vain.
― pomenitul, Friday, 17 May 2019 08:11 (four years ago) link
Springsteen?
― Mark G, Friday, 17 May 2019 08:46 (four years ago) link
Ahead of Let It Be, to boot…
― pomenitul, Friday, 17 May 2019 08:49 (four years ago) link
Voted Born in the USA, depending on what day of the week it would be either Prince or Springsteen. prefer Hootenanny to Let it Be tbh
