Psychocandy is the debut studio album by Scottish alternative rock band The Jesus and Mary Chain. It was released in November 1985 on Blanco y Negro Records. The album is considered a landmark recording: its combination of guitar feedback with traditional pop song structures proved influential on the forthcoming shoegaze genre and alternative rock in general. The band would move away from its abrasive sound with the release of their second album, 1987's Darklands.
I had only heard OF the band before this. Listening to the sample song and it sounds like something I'd like.

Slave to the Rhythm is the seventh studio album by Grace Jones, released on 28 October 1985 by Island Records. The concept album, produced by Trevor Horn, went on to become one of Jones' greatest album triumphs commercially and spawned her biggest hit, "Slave to the Rhythm".
Yes this is a great album! I considered putting it on my list but went with another one of Grace's instead. It's disco ear candy with some wonderfully weird moments.
YES!!! Vivid did make it in!!!! Cult of Personality is one kick-ass song, as are basically all the songs on that album, especially Open Letter (To a Landlord), Broken Hearts, Glamour Boys, I Want to Know, What's Your Favorite Color?, Funny Vibe.... UGH, I want to see them live again!!
EDIT: Not sure how I feel about Living Colour being below Van Halen, though... But at least Hot for Teacher is a bop for me.
The Sensual World is the sixth studio album by the British singer Kate Bush. It was released in October 1989 and peaked at no.2 in the UK album charts. It has been certified Platinum by the BPI for sales of 300,000 in the UK, and Gold by the RIAA in the US.
Slant Magazine listed the album at #55 on its list of the "Best Albums of the 1980s" saying "Blessed with one of music's most wildly expressive voices, Bush takes each song further than she has to, resulting in an album that forms its own unique world."
YES I love this album! I've been listening to it a lot lately. It's definitely the least appreciated Kate album of the 80s but I can't blame most of the voters for snubbing it for her other magnificent albums released this decade though. I also am pretty sure this is actually the highest two vote album.
