Probably my favorite record of the 80's and all time at the moment. A gorgeous new age record with dreamy synths. Becomes a labor of love.

Another new age record but with killer guitar work from Allan. Might have I.O.U on this list later on. Also the last track on this is divine.

A beautiful movie score with wonderful chemistry between Waits and Gale as well as the musicians that worked on it.

Smooth as chocolate. In that term sophistopop back in the 80's. Still sounds so good.

An overlooked record in the EW&F canon. And probably the most tight, and some what ambitious.

A monumental funk record that would shape funk and music to come. Almost 40 years old and the Troutman brothers and company made some of the tightest dance and funk tracks out there.

@ramthecowy Dude I need to update this list more. Then again the 80's is a decade I have been neglecting to get a lot of the classic albums under my belt.

Kate Bush, Casiopea and Talking Heads? I won't lie, I don't know the rest but there's some proper classy stuff here, plenty new for me to try out!
