Albums First Released in 1984
Pop albums became global events in 1984, while indie rock, post-punk and metal built equally committed audiences. Major releases from 1984 include Purple Rain by Prince and the Revolution, Born in the U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen, Diamond Life by Sade and The Smiths by The Smiths.
The year joined mass appeal with strong identities: Prince crossed rock, pop and funk; Springsteen paired big choruses with uneasy stories; Sade introduced a quieter form of soul; and the Smiths gave British indie a new voice.

Our Pick of the Year: Purple Rain by Prince and the Revolution
Purple Rain works as a studio album, a film soundtrack and a display of Prince's range. When Doves Cry removes the bass line from a major pop single, Let's Go Crazy turns rock into a sermon and the title track stretches into a live-style finale. Pop, funk and guitar music meet without sounding like separate exercises.
