I’ve read (I think it was on ILM) several people claiming that ’85 was a very bad year musically. Not true of course, each year has its yield of gems, and so does 1985. Although I don’t own it and haven’t heard it since, Brothers in Arms brings back great memories, even though I didn’t even like the Dire Straits.

Not to suggest that you’ve failed to include the following, but just to mention a few albums from that year that I enjoy(ed) quite a lot: The Cult, Love Prince, Around the World in a Day D.A.F., Alles Ist Gut The Replacements, Tim Talking Heads, Little Creatures (probably the record I listened to the most in that year) Zani Diabata & the Super Djata band, Super Djata. A wonderful album from Mali, full of joy and awesome guitar! If you’re looking for something that’s not "conventional" (though it's by no means unconnected to western music I guess) you might give this one a try.

Out of your list, I’ve chosen Wildweed. I really love the man, the voice, his guitarplaying, the tragic. Too bad I never saw him live, "the Elvis from Hell"...
