If you aren't aware that Reza Mills from Clean Sheets and Sleeping Shaman has been breaking down the decades with me to uncover our top 5 songs in pivotal anniversaries for these years, then you uare missing out. You should check out our insights here...
Here I am taking my top 5 choices and expanding them into the top 10 albums of 1985, and also ranking them in order of their impact and staying power, so here are my top 10 albums of 1985. Be sure to check out the episode above for a more in-depth look at the top 5 here.
10-Megadeth- "Killing is my Business and Business is Good."
The debut of Mustaine's post-Metallica project feels like he picked up where "Kill'em All " left off.
9-Anthrax -' Spreading the Disease"
They were beginning to hit their stride when it came to blending thrash with hooky classic metal songwriting
8-Ratt- "Invasion of Your Privacy."
One of the most endearing albums from the hair metal era, which stands the test of time.
7-Sting -" Dream of the Blue Turtles."
His solo debut is wonderfully bleak in its lyrical outlet and jazz overlay.
>6-Slayer - "Hell Awaits"
Their most underrated album, considering that it opened the doors for a darker, heavier style of music to be born.
5-Dio-"Sacred Heart."
He peaked in the 80s with this magical album, setting himself apart from metal trends.
3-Tom Waits - "Rain Dogs."
Not sure he even knew the 80s were even going on a this album sounds like it came from a dive bar at the edge of time.
2-Kate Bush-"Hounds of Love"
She did new wave on her terms and retained all the ethereal magic that she was known for.
1-The Smiths -"Meat is Murder."
Lyrically brilliant and perfectly written, this iconic album still stands alone.
