1984 was a great year for music I think I have to agree with Slant Magazine which listed Purple Rain as the second best album from the 1980s behind Thriller. Rolling Stones Magazine has it also listed at number 2 they have London Calling by The Clash as number one even though it is really a 70s album since it was first released in the UK on December 14th, 1979.
