In this I have included 13 from 1984 and 12 from 1983. Of course there are others I like and these come from longer lists covering some of my favourites.

Please try to vote for one or more per year if you know and like those.

Feel free to mention other choices either along with your declared pick or picks from the list or if you know and like none on the list. However, do not mention releases not in the poll without commenting on the poll choices even if it is just to say "I know none of the listed options, but my favourite is (or favourites are..." or "The only one (or ones), I know are such-and-such, but I don't like them so I shall not vote, but my favourite album is (or favourite albums are) such-and-such."

I do want to hear about what other album people like, but also to be clear on what is known and liked from my list. I am asking "Do you have a favourite or favourites of my favourites?" And I am happy to hear about other people's favourites.

Oh, and feel free to vote in the poll with limited familiarity. Sometimes I get comments like "I hardly know anything, so no vote." I would encourage people to vote for something if they like it, and mention it in a post, despite knowing little. I have often made it clear that I was voting for something in other people's polls despite limited familiarity with the choices.

2. Penguin Cafe Orchestra - Broadcasting From Home

11. Yog Sothoth - Yog Sothoth
12. Echo & The Bunnymen - Ocean Rain (not in PA)
13. This Mortal Coil - It'll End in Tears (not in PA)

1983

2. Art Zoyd - Les espaces inquiets
3. Zanov - In Course of Time
4. Codona - Codona 3
5. Eskaton - Fiction
6. Konomi Sasaki - Ninjin (not in PA)
7. News From Babel - Sirens and Silences / Work Resumed on the Tower
8. This Mortal Coil - This Mortal Coil (not in PA)
9. The Chameleons - Script of the Bridge (not in PA)
10. Bauhaus - Burning From the Inside (not in PA)
11. The Residents & Renaldo and The Loaf - Title in Limbo

Again, very happy to hear about others releases from these years, but then indicate if you know and like anything from my favourites in the poll. Thanks. That's an approach I appreciate in such topics generally.

I'll list a top six from each year, because... it felt natural:

1982

1. Dead Can Dance - Dead Can Dance*
2. Penguin Cafe Orchestra - Broadcasting From Home*
3. Cocteau Twins - Treasure (not in PA)
4. Siouxsie and The Banshees - Hyæna (not in PA)
5. Univers Zéro - Uzed
6. Yog Sothoth - Yog Sothoth

1983

1. Zanov - In Course of Time*
2. Bauhaus - Burning From the Inside (not in PA)*
3. The Residents & Renaldo and The Loaf - Title in Limbo
4. The Chameleons - Script of the Bridge (not in PA)
5. Art Zoyd - Les espaces inquiets
6. Cocteau Twins - Head Over Heels (not in PA)

*I allowed myself two votes for each year. That last (I know, they released an album in the 2000's) Bauhaus album is actually my favorite of theirs. I think it's an overlooked gem.

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Great list, imo.

Right now my favourite Bauhaus album is The Sky's Gone Out, but those things fluctuate often depending in what I listened to last or am listening to right now. That and Burning From the Inside I only got to know (or know well) in recent years. The earlier In the Flat Field and Mask I have known much longer. I first got into Bauhaus because of the film The Hunger. I loved "Bela Lugosi's Dead" on that, and then later heard it as it was released in 1979, and really love that.
