PICK: Which albums would you buy in 1983?
Are you "Burning Down the House" or are you on the side of the Police?
The good news is that plenty of classic records are being released. The bad news is that you only have the allowance to purchase one record per month.
Below you will find some of the best-selling and critically adored albums from that year. These albums spawned hit singles and continue to rack up acclaim and sales 40 years later.
Pick the one album you would most want to hear. And see how your tastes compare to others. Have fun!
