Released in November, "Rock A Little" was the third solo album from Stevie Nicks, and like the previous two, was a platinum success. The first single was one of her biggest solo hits, reaching #4.

After 3 consecutive gold albums with a top ten hit on each, Laura Branigan's "Hold Me" faltered on the chart. Numerous singles were released, but only "Spanish Eddie" managed to reach #40. The album still sparkles 40 years later

Hounds Of Love | Kate Bush

Side one has the hits but side two is just jaw-dropping. A fully immersive experience, an emotional rollercoaster that always demands attention. An artistic triumph, music to lose yourself in time and time again.

This is the perfect example of 80s pop music, along with ABC's 'Look of Love'. I mean that in a positive way. ..

Would not have been ready at all for this if I'ld known this in 1985. Many years later heard it first, now wish I could hear it for the first time again.

After a couple of albums in the early 80s with middling sales, Heart entered their Bustier Era with this self-titled reinvention. It reached #1 and went 5X platinum, with four top ten hits, starting with this classic.
