Impressive that this album made such an impression on you in 1984, since it
came out in late spring 1985...
But if you're looking to flaunt indier-than-thou cred, you might also mention:
KNIFE -- Aztec Camera
A WALK ACROSS THE ROOFTOPS -- The Blue Nile
WORKING WITH FIRE AND STEEL -- China Crisis
TREASURE -- Cocteau Twins
RATTLESNAKES -- Lloyd Cole and the Commotions
EVERYTHING BUT THE GIRL -- Everything But the Girl
WALKING IN THE SHADOW OF THE BIG MAN -- Guadalcanal Diary
ZEN ARCADE -- Husker Du
DOUBLE NICKELS ON THE DIME -- Minutemen
HATFUL OF HOLLOW -- The Smiths
...all of which were kicking my ass as much or more than Prince, Madonna or
Cyndi in 1984. But, shockingly, popular records can be good too.
