    From this list, Reckoning, but for me the album of the year is Laurie Anderson's Mister Heartbreak, featuring Bill Laswell and Adrian Belew. Guest starring William S. Burroughs.



    I recently, happily, discovered that my copy, one of the first CDs I ever bought, is a 'target' and I think it sounds particularly fine.

    Reckoning and Let It Be from the list. Bruce and U2 as much. The Eurythmics 1984 (For the Love of Big Brother) is a favorite mood music album of mine.

    Purple Rain is the only one listed of the ones I'm familiar with that was worthy of a vote.

    Other than "Purple Rain" (one could stretch with Run DMC but I wouldn't), what other record on that list has anything at all to do with R&B? Enlighten me. I'm genuinely curious.

    Of the albums listed, I went with Echo and the Bunnymen's Ocean Rain. Purple Rain had more great pop tunes, but as an album Echoes album is a more consistent mood piece. The early 80's where a great time for music!

    Tough choice between R.E.M., The Replacements and Husker Du, but had to go with R.E.M. Reckoning is my favorite album of theirs.
