So... by some coincidence, I happened to be listening to L Subramaniam's Spanish Waves album - fantastic fusion if not exactly earth shattering or groundbreaking - only yesterday. I think more than knowing where to look, the 80s was about concentrated pockets of excellence in some genres while the rest didn't fare so well. 80s is the defining decade of metal but jazz rock in general continued to be strong in the 80s. But R&B declined sharply and only for RIO (within prog) could the 80s be said to be a strong decade.

This is the end of my list of what I find to be essential 80's albums, there is a lot more just picked those i think anyone need to hear before......


1986 - 1989

 

1986

Prog/Experimental:

David Sylvian - Gone To Earth

Frank Zappa - Jazz from hell

Laurie Anderson - Home of the Brave

Talk Talk - The Colour Of Spring

Other very important albums imho :

The Firm - Mean Business

Megadeth - Peace Sells...But Who's Buying?

Miles Davis – Tutu

Paul Simon – Graceland

The The – Infected

The Call - Reconciled

 

1987

Prog/Experimental:

David sylvian - Secrets of the Beehive

Jethro Tull - Crest Of A Knave

Marillion - Clutching at Straws

Pink Floyd - A Momentary Lapse Of Reason

Roger Waters - Radio K.A.O.S.

Rush - Hold Your Fire

Yes - Big Generator

Other very important albums imho :

Bill Bruford's Earthworks - Earthworks

The Cure - Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me

David Bowie - Never Let Me Down

Robbie Robertson - Robbie Robertson

Ryuichi Sakamoto, David Byrne, Cong Su - The Last Emperor

Simply Red - Men and Women

U2 - The Joshua Tree

Whitesnake - 1987

 

1988

Prog/Experimental:

Cardiacs - A Little Man And A House And The Whole World Window

Dead Can Dance - Serpent's Egg

Other very important albums imho :

David Lee Roth – Skyscraper

Joan Armatrading - The Shouting Stage

Queensr˙che - Operation: Mindcrime

Robert Plant - Now And Zen

Sade - Stronger Than Pride

Sinéad O'Connor - The Lion and the Cobra

Steve Roach - Dreamtime Return

1989

Prog/Experimental:

Horizont - The Portrait Of A Boy

Jethro Tull - Rock Island

Peter Gabriel – Passion

Porcupine Tree - Tarquin's Seaweed Farm

Swans - The Burning World

Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe - Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe

Other very important albums imho :

Adrian Belew - Mr. Music Head

David Byrne - Rei Momo

Faith No More - The Real Thing

Culture - Too Long In Slavery

The Cure – Disintegration

Lisa Stansfield - Affection

Simple Minds - Street Fighting Years

The The - Mind Bomb

Whitesnake - Slip Of The Tongue
 

and the eighties crash and burn . If Yes - The Big Generator is ever regarded as 'essential' then I am truly dead and gone to hell.

This is very typical internet: I'm taking time to make a list of +100 albums that i find interesting from the 80's, a very varied plate I think, with music to appeal to anyone's taste. You pick one album and PUKE on it.   

NB: It is not a trade, the 70's won't disappear if you listen to 80's music.   
 

I think you must have a different use of the word 'essential' to me. There are plenty of others I could have picked on like Rock Island for instance. You put your head above the parapet so what do you expect?

Thanks to Logan for mentioning the often overlooked "Deceit" by This Heat. 
 

Merlin is half a great album although certainly worth a mention. The 'reboot' around about 2000 when they expanded it appeals to me a bit more. BTW best wishes to Ton Scherpenzeel who apparently has not been in the best of health recently.

Man, I have mentioned this before but I saw Gentle Giant live int Atlanta at the Agora Ballroom May 29 1980 with 14 shows to go before they quit touring. It was simulcasted on 96 Rock and a friend of mine taped in cassette which I copied to CD but both are lost now. Cry Even though Civilian isn't a fan favorite it has one of their best songs. Inside Out.

of course there are good albums, but they're the exceptions that confirm the rule Evil Smile

At least in 40's and 50's you had jazz and classical LOL
