Sorry to point it out but van halen's 1984 was actually released in 1983 without a doubt my choice would have to be twisted sister -stay hungry

Point out the fact that you are incorrect? January 9th in 1984. It was RECORDED in 1983, but "Released" would be the operative word here.


Purple Rain would be first, followed CLOSELY by Perfect Strangers by Deep Purple.

 

[Bocephus]

1. Prince - Purple Rain
2. Van Halen - 1984
3. The Smiths - Hatful Of Hollow
4. Yngwie Malmsteen - Rising Force
5. The Smiths - The Smiths

Not much in the way of punk and alt rock in 84.. all i can think of off-hand would be
Meat Puppets ll - Meat Puppets (lake of fire!!!)
1984 - Van Halen
Ride The Lightning - Metallica (could be from 85 or 86?)

Black Flag released 3 small-sized albums in 84, none of which i ever got into:
Slip it in
My War
Family Man
