Best Album of 1985

[LG]

michael bolton sucks

You know what Gabriel Cash, those kind of posts are the worst in my view, they add nothing to the thread, they don't create any kind of discussion and show you in...well a poor light to be honest.

I sure hope this isn't your normal pattern of posting....

Great song, classic film moment.

 

[Bocephus]

I was born in '85 but it was maybe the weakest year of the decade for great albums.

1. Prince - Around the world in a day
2. Stevie Wonder - In square circle
3. The Cult - Love
4. Aerosmith - Done with mirrors
5. Motley Crue - Theater of pain

Not a classic there. All merely quite good.
