Huh? Remasters usually just make it louder with dynamic range compression.

Yeah, I always think of this as more of a mid-80's album.

They are a very big deal in my house. My wife's favorite band. Finding this on vinyl a few weeks ago was her holy grail.

I don't see any HMs, above. Did you smite them with your terrible swift sword in your mighty wrath?

Why are you assigning big city motives to sleepy town actions?

David Byrne - The Complete Score from the Broadway Production of "The Catherine Wheel"
This ranks with the best music Byrne recorded with Talking Heads or with Brian Eno.

Rolling Stones - Tattoo You
A day late (well a few days) and a dollar short with my pick, but it's a good 'un. Went with the sentimental pick here. In 8th grade, my parents (against my initial wishes) wanted to throw me a graduation party for 8th grade. Of course those 8th grade hangups kicked it - no one will show (almost the whole class came), it's gonna be lame (it was fun), and lastly the music will suck. At the time, I was not into music AT ALL and my album collection consisted of soundtracks my aunt would give me every Christmas (Saturday Night Fever, Grease, Fame). My dad was going to get one of his friends, a DJ, to lend up some albums (uh oh, what could my dad's friend know about music?! Is there gonna be Peter, Paul & Mary albums?!). I took my money, went down to the store and purchased three albums based on what I was seeing and enjoying on the new channel MTV.
My three albums - J.Geils Band Freeze Frame, The Police's Ghost in the Machine, and the Rolling Stones' Tattoo You. So began a music collections. I've enjoyed all three albums since (the Police and Stones more than Freeze Frame but it's still pretty darn good). Although I don't break out Tattoo You with the frequency of albums 10 years earlier by the Stones, it's their last truly great album (granted filled with outtakes from the Some Girl sessions). Wild cover art, too!
Oh, and my dad's friend did lend us a crate of albums which were a big hit with the girls at the party - the one I remember - Human League's Dare. So I guess sometimes old folks do know something

I particularly like this story. Maybe, it's because you tell it better every time.Rolling Stones - Tattoo You

Hey, sharing it again for all the new members
I'm sure 2/3 of the stuff I vomit out here is stuff I say before - repetitive repetition as I gradually become my father. Luckily you guys are patient with me

Wild Gift was my other potential pick for this year. Really enjoy that one, even more than their debut I believe

I have a combo album that includes the first two releases, so I usually listen to them as one.

It is so hard not to choose "Never Too Much" by Luther, but this one is a micrometer better. And, it's not even a case of being so close that I'd choose this one iteration and NTM another iteration. Never Too Much is extremely deserving of Album of the Year. It's just that Street Songs is better.
It may be because Street Songs imprinted itself on me the year of its release, song after radio-hit-song. I fell in love with NTM a few years later after high school graduation.
