Going strictly by Trag’s criteria, it has to be either Thriller or Purple Rain. More than likely Thriller. Definitely not fucking Paul Simon.

This was my first thought, but Thriller and Purple Rain changed music

Could never decide from these contenders:
Fleetwood Mac - Tusk
Mission of Burma - Signals, Calls, and Marches
Minutemen - What Makes a Man Start Fires?
Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
I don't know Mission of Burma at all. I've heard some Minutemen (which I've liked a lot) but not that record. Those other two are great pulls

That's another one I've never heard. I've got such a HUGE 80s blindspot.

also, no.
i shit on the 80s, but it was a great decade, especially for pop music. it's still stuck between the 70s and 90s so it will always have that against it lol

We have very different tastes in music.
Granted, every year I find more music that I enjoyed in the 80s, but to my ears it is still the ugly duckling compared to the 60s, 70s, 90s, and possibly beyond.

The Lion and The Cobra is a legit contender for my favorite album of the decade.
