    I'd have to say it was a pretty good year, because it featured my favorite all-time albums from Rush, Dire Straits, Talking Heads and AC/DC.

    Rush - Permanent Waves
    Dire Straits - Making Movies
    Blue Öyster Cult - Cultösaurus Erectus
    Talking Heads - Remain In Light
    Van Halen - Women And Children First
    AC/DC - Back In Black
    Bruce Springsteen - The River (could have ranked higher if he/they'd trimmed the fat and made it a single album)

    Archie Shepp & Horace Parlan, Trouble in Mind - I used to collect sax/piano duet albums and this may well be my favorite. Old slow blues with just enuff embelishment to make it persona. I like some of the albums mentioned by others in this thread well enuff, but this I totally love.
