<p>Man, the way you started with 1985, I thought we won't have much in common.</p>
<p>And now... I can confirm we don't have much in common. :-)</p>
<p>There could be a perfect explanation for this like, I don't buy much outside Metal. Perhaps, few Rock and Pop albums, but most of the '80's one-hit-wonder suspects are on Compilation CDs for me. Or... maybe because 1985 was the worst year in the '80s for me. If I could just sleep through it, I wouldn't complain.</p>

<p>2/3 of it I spent in the Army (it was mandatory, so you know how much I liked that). I only caught few tracks from Dire Straits, one from Paul Young and a couple from ZZ Top on the Radio, and that's it.</p>
<p>Once I was out of the Army, I had 2 weeks to prepare for college. Confirm my attendance, finalize the dorm applications, move out/move in, buy the books and supplies, look for transportation, figure out the meal arrangements, get familiar with the big city, find a part-time job to help my parents pay the expenses, and leading a college/study/eat/sleep routine for the rest of the year.</p>
<p>The only friend in this new place that liked talking music was into POP music (who suggested I should buy "Somewhere In Time" because that is the best Metal album he ever heard). Yeah, if you assume I lived under the rock in 1985, that would be an understatement. I lived under a boulder.</p>
<p>Looking at what you posted, I know nothing 'bout 'Til Tuesday, and I don't want to know anything about Simple Minds and Arcadia. Besides those, there are a lot of albums I haven't heard in a whole so I won't rank them.</p>
<p>Albums I used to have, or borrowed, or streamed rank like this:<br/><span>1. John Cougar Mellencamp - Scarecrow<br/></span>2. Dokken - <span>Under Lock And Key</span><br/>3. The Firm - The Firm<br/><span>4. Bon Jovi - 7800° Fahrenheit</span></p>
<p>And the albums I own stacked up like this:<br/>1. Dire Straits - <span>Brothers In Arms<br/></span>2. ZZ Top - <span>Afterburner</span><br/>3. Heart - Heart<br/><span>4. Roger Daltrey - Under A Raging Moon</span><br/>5. Ratt - <span>Invasion Of Your Privacy</span></p>

<p>Riptide<br/>Trick Bag<br/>Get It Through Your Heart<br/>Flesh Wound</p>
<p>Brief Thoughts: I owned this on cassette back in the day and thought it was fantastic. I have picked up a used cd copy in the last couple of years and I still think it’s fantastic. Now I need to find the deluxe version. Palmer could do rock, R&B and he was even a crooner. It’s all evident here and I would consider this album a staple.</p>

<p>Children’s Crusade <br/>Shadows In The Rain <br/>We Work The Black Seam</p>
<p>Brief Thoughts: First, I had no idea this was Sting’s debut album. I have several of his, but I don’t know if I’ve listened to any of them. Except this one now. I’m not a big fan of Love Is The Seventh Wave, but the rest of it impressed me. It is very laid back for the most part. Russians is a great song as is the deep cut Children’s Crusade.</p>

<p>Brief Thoughts: This album had the two massive hits Broken Wings and Kyrie. I don’t mind changing the channel for the latter, but I still love to hear the former. The album is full of terrific deep cuts and really, there isn’t a weak track on it.</p>

<p>Brief Thoughts: Arcadia is a Duran Duran offshoot. It sounds like Duran Duran. Which is expected. Goodbye Is Forever fared better in the UK than in the States. Which is a head scratcher because it is a terrific song. As is The Promise. You should check this out if you aren’t familiar with it.</p>

<p>Brief Thoughts: I really don’t know anything about Simple Minds other than their hits. Those are enjoyable. At times, this album makes me think a little of U2. Maybe a combination of the guitar and vocals. Nothing wrong with this album, but it doesn’t rank very high for me.</p>

<p>Brief Thoughts: Man, I love The Outfield. All of their hits and most of there deep cuts. This album is fun and takes me right back to 1985 and 1986. You know Your Love is a classic. I never get tired of hearing it and singing it. I was totally surprised though that Say It Isn’t So did not chart. That song is killer too!</p>
