Best Album of 1983

[Martin Q. Blank]

I'm having a hard time thinking of one. I'll get back to...uh...me.

How about you?

 

[Martin Q. Blank]

Got it!

 

[Music Wench]

Easy for me. R.E.M. - Murmur.

Most excellent album from one of my all-time faves.

 

[Zombeels]

Yes - 90125

i luvv the yes, but i'll also pick the police.

 

[Martha Washington]

Tom Waits - Swordfishtrombones


tom waits married a neat lady. she suggested, maybe he would enjoy incorporating more of the things he enjoyed into his own music. Thank you neat lady!

I had been buying Tom Waits records for years but THIS knocked me for a loop. All his strengths are on display but in a weird technicolor foreign film sort of way. It's show offy but it's real emotional too.
"never could stand that dog"

To me, that's when Waits' stuff really took off. The piano lounge lizard era has its moments, but the later stuff is where it's at, IMHO.

 

[Born to Rock]

Pyromania or Kill'em All.

 

[Nirvanadude]

Robert Plant - The Principle of Moments

 

[Aginghipster]

Catapult. Catapult! Catapult! Ooooooo we were little boys. Ooooooo we were little girls. It's 9 oclock dont try to turn it off. Cowered in a hole. Opie mouth busted. Did we miss anything? Did we miss anything?


Obviously REM- Murmur!
