1984 had phenomenal winners:
aoty- thriller
roty- beat it
soty- every breathe you take
bna- culture club
while I do praise the work, I have not listened to thrilled in years. while we might not know if MJ assaulted those kids, it was morally wrong to have young children sleep in his bed in his mansion
but eurythmics should have won BNA against culture club

VISIONS OF BODIES BEING BURNED1985 line-up, Album Of The Year
The nominees were:
Lionel Richie – Cant Slow Down (WINNER)
Bruce Springsteen – Born in the USA
Cyndi Lauper – She’s So Unusual
Prince and the Revolution – Purple Rain
Tina Turner – Private Dancer
In retrospective, the 1985 AOTY looks like the clash of the titans, the winning Album was the hit-packed Diamond certified sophomore album of Lionel Richie, against the titanic albums Born in the USA, She is so Unusual and Purple Rain. BITUSA is certified x15 Platinum and Purple Rain x13 Platinum and She is so unusual x6 Platinum. Cyndi became a pop culture phenomenon, setting new highs for female artists with all-time classic anthems Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and Time After Time. Bruce was at the highest hights of his career with that album and Prince became a legend with Purple Rain. The album spent 24 consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard 200 from August 4, 1984 to January 18, 1985, and more than 32 weeks in the top 10, becoming one of the most successful soundtracks ever. It traded the number-one position on the chart with Bruce Springsteen’s Born in the U.S.A. twice, during 1984 and 1985.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCsmcLf79mwLionel is a legend but his win in this line up is straight booty.
Prince obviously should’ve won. Hell even Bruce Springsteen would’ve been an OK, if not safe, choice.
Private Dancer & She’s So Unusual are more iconic & better albums than Can’t Slow Down too.
Probably one of the most underwhelming winners ever.
