My personal favorites from 1985 (then and now) from the list are:

Heart -- Heart

Tears For Fears -- Songs From The Big Chair

INXS -- Listen Like Thieves

An album from 1985 I wouldn't listen to for another 10 years, but liked right away is Love by The Cult. Love it! All I knew were the songs played on the radio. I hate that it took me 10 years to discover it (and only because someone from work was playing the CD).

I was out of work in '85 and dating a red head (nutcase!).... Some good albums, think this was my first CD album?
(adding this to my initial vote.)


Dire Straits - Why Worry?
Brothers In Arms.
