Excellant, excellant call on "Abacab" and "Three Sides Live"....the artistic height of that band in the post-Gabriel era.
"Ghost in the Machine" is my favorite album by the Police...big fan back in the day....saw them live on that tour.
"So"....Peter Gabriel's big money making album, not my favorite of his...but glad to see him rake in the bucks.
"Unforgettable Fire" = My favorite U2 disc...despite never wanting to hear "Pride (In the Name of Love) ever again.
I would add King Crimson's "Three of a Perfect Pair," Rush's "Moving Pictures," and Kate Bush's "Hounds of Love."
Now I know when I was making this list it was late and I was tired, I also knew I was forgetting somebody major and that was RUSH. I don't know how I could forget g under p RUSH'S.....Grace Under Pressure

I mainly love the album Moving pictures through the song *The Camera Eye* man I wish I could play that song on drums.
As for The Police and The Ghost In The Machine Tour which I saw was In VA at a smalll club was a great show.
PG *So* album I didn't like at first in fact I returned it then 2 months later I bought it back at a pawn shop after hearing again a couple songs I couldn't believe were on there.
Genesis I completely worn those vynil albums/cassettes out in the 80's-90's I couldn't get enough of those two. I think I saw them 5-6 times.
For me U2 ruled the 80's there were the top of the heap as far as bands go. The first band I traveled to go and see, The War and Unforgetable Fire tours they gave the most memorable shows of all the U2 Tours, lots of energy back then. Have you ever seen The US FESTIVAL 1983 during the song Electric Co. ? AWESOME!

It took me a couple of years to warm up to "So", simply because the hits got played a wee bit too much. I actually still don't own the album....have every other Gabriel disc except for the live albums and "The Rabbitproof Fence" soundtrack. I have a lot of the material from "So" on "Hit/Miss."
Still own my cassette copy of "Three Sides Live." Has a big drag spot in the middle. :P
Never have seen any Us Festival footage. :( ....do love the Live Aid version of "Bad"
All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.

At the time in the early 80's U2 had a strong underground following and Bono to me made it clear he wanted to make a breakthrough in America. Especially with the upcoming release of the *WAR* album. So they gave the talk of the town at the huge US Festival out in California with this outrageous performance. I have the bootleg of their entire performance there. He (BONO) carried this energy into the War Tour which I saw opening night in Norfolk, VA. This is nice to see back when *THE EDGE* had hair.
*The Rabbitproof Fence* is a great movie and I have that album too along with every release by PG. He brings out some very emotional shows like the last one I saw at the Capital Centre in Landover MD.

I hadn't listened to Genesis ~ Three Sides Live in years. Hell, I haven't listened to Genesis for years.
Pulled out the cassette over the weekend because of this thread, and listened to it this morning on the way to work. Great stuff. Think I'll put Abacab on for the ride home.
"You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

The bad news is that the current CD version does not include the studio side. :evil:

That is correct that is why I STILL listen to my cassette versions. Love singing Abacab on my way to the beach I could never figure out what the hell they were singing about.

The current re-mastered versions of the non-live Genesis albums are all pretty sweet...own them all up to Abacab.

can't say one is favorite but i remember listening to 'tunnel of love' and thinking that bruce had hit on some emotions, concerning love and relationships, both clear and dark, about which he had never before written.
i sometimes wonder if 'brilliant disguise' is his best song.
it's full of truth for me, that's for sure.
Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green

cassette?!?! :shock:
hard core old school right there!!
I've got a crate of cassettes I never got rid of, nor bothered to upgrade to cd.
Looking through them provided a few WTF was I thinking moments (yes 3rd bass cassette, I'm talking about you).
"You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.
Its pretty simple 80's music blows....come on bands like Flock of Seagulls.....Bryan Adams...the fuckin GoGo's please....Culture Club...shall I go on.
If so why were you listening to them?

If I have to pick one and only one I'll go with U2's "The Joshua Tree." That is an album that has been in my continual listening rotation for 22 years.
A very close 2nd would go to The Police's "Synchonicity." Again, another regular rotator and so many good songs.
Some very easy honorable mentions go to:
"Diesel and Dust" - Midnight Oil
"Permanent Waves" - Rush
"Moving Pictures" - Rush
"Sports" - Huey Lewis & The News
"Back for the Attack" - Dokken
"Crowded House" - Crowded House
"Thriller" - Michael Jackson (and not just because he just died)
"War" - U2
"1984"- Van Halen
"Pretty Hate Machine" - Nine Inch Nails
"Liquidizer" - Jesus Jones
"Who Made Who" - AC/DC
I could probably go on, but I'll spare. Just trying to name some that haven't been named yet that are still top favorites of mine.
some very interesting choices
man I was all over the place in the eighties
REM-reckoning
Talking heads-little creatures/stop making sense (didnt see any heads records mentioned yet)
Beasties-paul's boutique
Rush-moving pictures
U2-joshua tree
Van Halen-fair warning
Stevie Ray Vaughn couldnt stand the weather
Ozzy-blizzard of oz
AC/DC-back in black
The police-zenyatta
Donald Fagen-nightfly
Iron Maiden-number of the beast
Genesis-abacab/three sides
Phil collins-face value
man picking one is tough
they all got LOT of time on the record player in my house.
Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska
The Pogues - Rum Sodomy & The Lash
Pixies - Doolittle
The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead
Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
Metallica - Master Of Puppets
Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast
The secret to a happy ending is knowing when to roll the credits
