Subject: Most Influential Albums of the '80s
Written By: velvetoneo on 04/13/06 at 3:00 pm
IMO...
Prince- 1999, Purple Rain, Sign O'The Times. Created the template for the musical experimentation and variation that is almost a requisite for modern musical stardom, and heralded a new direction for pop in general and black music in particular due to his constant experimentation. Sexual expression included...
Madonna-Like a Virgin, Like a Prayer The first is the absolute Reagan-era pop CD (at first glance cheesy, at second glance insightful), the second is the closest a bestselling female singer has come to art in the past few decades. They also together broke taboos about sex and love and feminine identity unseen ever...I'm going to tag "Vogue" onto LAP.
Def Leppard-Pyromaniac...started hair metal.
I'll add more later.
