I had all of these except Wham on cassette. Only one? VH. But man, purple rain is more iconic and better musically than the synth-infused 1984.

That’s really a rough call. So much influential music up there, and I had them all. Damn those were the days.

How many of those albums up there took those artists from well known and very good, across the line to superstardom?

Not talking career launching, but taking them to the top levels of the industry?

Whomever put that list together at least seems to have put some good thought into the participants.

I'd prefer mayo over ketchup if it wasn't so fatty.

Parmesan cheese is also a good option, but also unhealthy.

 

But then again, you're already eating fries, which isn't healthy in the first place. Yet I crave it fortnightly.

The entire bottom row. 

Fuck it, I'll buy the lot. 

Just one? I already know the answer because that's the year I joined the Columbia Record Club. I got two of those that I remember, and only one I still listen to.

1984 baby

1984 was a great year, the year I came into this world.

I think you got those backwards. 

1984 only had synths on three of its 9 tracks, and all 3 of those were recorded performances of EVH playing. 

Purple Rain had preprogrammed synths on ALL its tracks, and a lot of those aged badly. They're well-written songs, but they sound horribly dated with their ancient ass MIDI drum machine shit.

also i wouldn't buy it because my brother already had it and I'd just listen to his copy

All the thought they put into it was "1984." It was a great year. 1982 might've been even better. 

As for superstardom, I count... Prince, Madonna, Van Halen, Wham!, Kenny Loggins (for the title track to "Footloose").

Maiden was never a superstar (though they ought to have been, and this remains one of their best if not THE best album, and far better than most here), Metallica's orbital launch was the black album, Turner was ALREADY a superstar to the previous generation, Run-DMC didn't launch until 1986's Raising Hell.

Every so often you’d have to ride your bike with those pedals and no shoes. It’s why I can pretty much walk anywhere barefoot these days.

“Aged badly”, “Horribly dated” and “drum machine shit” are 3 terms that I’ve never seen in a Purple Rain review before, but I guess you’ll see everything if you live long enough.

Really? You're... just now noticing? Even in the more popular tracks, the sound has not aged well.
