Im aware that this a vast spectrum of musical artists. For me there are lots. But this album stands out for me. Its just fantastic. every record is great. its a testament to Mick's song writing imo. Picture Book is the best album by far that Simply Red recorded in my opinion. . Its funky/pop/soul at its best. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AkLpyiJ11o

Appetite For Destruction - Guns N Roses. Funny though, when it came out I really didn`t like it, only got into them in about 2004, and curse my younger self for being so stoopid.

I thought that, but OP said UK albums :/
also Paul Simon's Gracelend and Pixies' Surfer Rosa


This has made me realise how few 80s albums I know, let alone love.
For UK ones, I'd have to say The Stone Roses, closely followed by The Cure's Disintegration

Picture book is up there, I like a new flame too.

I'm going to say 'A walk across the rooftops' by the Blue Nile.

Or The Violent Femmes 1st outing.

Welcome to the Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Well, Trevor Horn :)

See also 90125, A Secret Wish and Lexicon Of Love. All brilliant albums done by Trev and some blokes/frauleins.

Talk Talk, Spirit of Eden, courtesy of my older brother and a couple of his mates.

I would have been about 11. My parents used to go out on a Saturday night, they'd decided that my brother was old enough to look after me.

A couple of his friends came around one Saturday evening and brought this album with them. Previous albums had included Dark Side of the Moon, and a few Marilion albums.

I thought this was amazing though.

Probably the only album from my childhood that I still listen to.

Oh yeah, just saw that - benefits of being very tired after 2 days of recording, not beung able to read, doh!

Hmmm, best UK 80s album, you know i don`t think muh of the music I bought in the 80s was from the UK. If I went for the one I playd the most it would probably be Beer & Sex & Chips & Gravy by The Macc Lads. A timeless piece of work, but not exactly mainstream.
