Richard Shaw Good Afternoon Rich,
Here are my #5albums86 , plus a top 20 Happy Saturday!
Game Theory – The Big Shot Chronicles (5 pts)
Robyn Hitchcock – Songs from the Film
Elvis Costello – Blood and Chocolate
Husker Du – Candy Apple Grey
Siouxsie and the Banshees – Tinderbox
It's #5albums86 time and another strong contender is New Order's Brotherhood. With a killer single (BLT), superb artwork (the most enigmatic Peter Saville sleeve of them all), the poignant beauty of As It is When It Was and the edgy energy of Paradise & Angel Dust, it's up there.

1️⃣ Strange Times - Chameleons (by a substantial margin)
2. Bend Sinister - The Fall
3. Giant - The Woodentops
4. Talking to the Taxman - Billy Bragg
5. Candy Apple Grey - Husker Du
Life’s Rich and TQID just miss out. RIP Andy 🙏

My only defence (although there is 'No Explanation') for omitting this from my selection was that I had an Australian copy in 85.

2nd studio release from Arthur Russell & the final album released during his lifetime..
