1: Devo - Duty Now For the Future
Never was a sound so "new wave, and brave."
2: Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill
It was simple RUN DMC flows over a new type of music. Raising Hell could be swapped in for this - but I think this one had a bigger impact on me because it brought sarcasm and sampling.
3: Krafterk - Computer World
Once I got this on CD it was over for me.
4: New Order: Substance
Sure - it's a best of , but it covered a lot of ground.
I was in HS from 1984-1988 and during that time the musical world changed about 500 times.
We had radio stations that would play Devo followed by Lionel Richie. We had these bands releasing classics - all at the same time:
madonna. The Smiths. New Oder. Soft Cell. The Talking Heads. Big Audio Dynamite. Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper. Whitney Houston. LL Cool J. Wham. Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Prince. Cameo. Public Enemy. Midnight Star.Kenny Loggins. Van Halen. Culture Club. Duran Duran. Hall and Oates. Stevie Wonder. The Cars. Whodini. Genesis. Kool and The Gang. R.E.M., New Edition. Depeche Mode. XTC. Peter Gabriel. Elvis Costello. The Cure. INXS. Fishbone. Dire Straits. Sting. OMD. Pet Shop Boys.
I could probably name 100 more - it was a crazy time for music.
