Favorite 80's Pop Album

Guest

Alot of us were kids in the 80's. Alot of us listened to pop music of the day. Alot of us didn't. This post is directed to those who DID listen to 80's pop music.

What is your favorite 80's pop album?

Mine is

Loverboy - Keep It Up

That was the first cassette I ever shoplifted and the first I ever completely wore out.

That would be #2 on my list. It still sounds good today.

#3? Duran Duran - Rio

The Duran Duran one with Rio on it, cant think of the name right now, the whole album was good (very rare w/80's pop).

MJ - Thriller (it's weird to think how weird he's become, but that's a great pop album) So was Off The Wall (but was that 70's??)

That was Rio. #3 on the list in my head.

I don't have one...because I'm soooooooooo metal!

Seriously, just not a fan of the style. At least I don't think I like any albums. I can't think of anything.

I always really liked Transvision Vamp. Had attitude, was catchy, and Wendy James was easy to be into.

I would call it good old Rock 'n' Roll, but if this qualifies as pop, it's got my vote!! One of the few that I not only like, but I have on CD.

Man, I'm a big fan of all 80's Pop/Rock music, too. Hard to pick one in particular as my favorite. Some of them were...

MICHAEL JACKSON-Thriller
HUEY LEWIS & THE NEWS-Sports
BILLY JOEL-An Innocent Man
BILLY IDOL-Rebel Yell
PRINCE-Purple Rain
THE TIME-Ice Cream Castles
REO SPEEDWAGON-Wheels Are Turnin'
THE CARS-Heartbeat City
DURAN DURAN-Rio
THE POLICE-Synchronicity
STYX-Paradise Theatre
TINA TURNER-Private Dancer
FOREIGNER-Records (contains some 70's songs)
PAT BENATAR-Crimes Of Passion (it's from '79, but still is her best representation, IMO)
LIONEL RICHIE-Can't Slow Down
NIGHT RANGER-Greatest Hits
KOOL & THE GANG-Emergency
RAY PARKER JR.-Greatest Hits (His band RAYDIO from the late 70's were killer!)

There were many others, but I'll stop. I'm sure I'll get flamed just for mentioning half of them. Smile

Cant stop this feeling!
Cant stop this fire!
Oh, I get hysterical, hysteria, oh can you feel it?" ...so evil and METAL! Razz
