Hard rock in general. Also
Scorpions: Love at First Sting
And if you like hair metal,
Ratt: Out of the Cellar complete with Tawny Kitaen taking time off of muscle car hoods and slinking around on the cover
and Twisted Sister: Stay Hungry
For 1984 I’d have to sprinkle in some pretty big albums that rocked a bit less. But Steve Stevens is a heck of a guitarist
Iron Maiden: Powerslave
Dio: The last in line
Van Halen: 1984
Bruce Springsteen: Born in the USA
Prince: Purple Rain
Billy Idol: Rebel Yell
1983 had some good albums too. This is more a list of vinyl I have on hand
Dio: Holy Diver
Motley Crüe: Shout at the Devil
Def Leppard: Pyromania
SRV: Texas Flood
Police: Synchronicity
David Bowie: Let’s Dance
Damn there's some fantastic albums in this post and thread in general of course. The 80's really was a fantastic time for music. Out of the Cellar and Shout at the Devil are IMO the pinnacle of 80's hair metal before things trended into more glam.

I was thinking about Big Country last night, and a topic for a new list would be around best one hit albums. Bands that put together these incredible albums and then faded away or vanished after that.
Big Country, Lone Justice, Alannah Myles, Meredith Brooks, we could even argue a band like the Hooters. There was a Calgary prog rock band in the 80's named Prototype and their first album was really solid but they never went anywhere after that.

you know if you ask me a gut reaction on music in 1989 it's not positive- partly what was mainstream or on Much music/mtv or what was being played by people I knew at the time- but 1989 is straight out ridiculous the more I think about it
I mean look at those 6 albums you list
then bring in Disintegration , Pretty Hate Machine, Stone Roses, B-52s (Cosmic Thing), self titled records from Buffalo Tom, Indigo Girls, Like a Prayer, Doolittle, Spike, Oranges and Lemons, Workbook, Louder than Love, Let Love Rule, Hup (Wonder Stuff), 11 (Smithereens), Freedom , speaking of Neil lets turn to Canada now- Diamond Mine, Up to Here, Now and Again, Fight for Love
on and on....off to create a 1989 playlist!!

I’m seeing Radiohead a lot on these lists. Insane that pretty much every album they release is a yearly best. Also crazy they released two very different albums in a row, OK Computer and Kid A, that ended up being arguably the best albums of the 90s and 00s.
