Continuing our LP series that encompasses releases in years ending in “5.”
For part 2, post your favorite LPs released in 1985 and/or 1995. Those years only, NOT the entire decade.
Include 2-4 sound clips. Please do not post link to the entire album. Others who admire the LP may want to post some songs from it.
In addition to the tracks, we encourage you to expound on why the album is meaningful, including personal history of your relationship with the record and its music.
If someone posts an album on your list before you get to it, you still may reference it, but use different song clips.
Choices should focus on studio albums. Avoid greatest hits/live LPs/compilations. We’ll allow it, but it should be a definitive element of an artist’s body of work that isn’t otherwise generally available from studio output.
If you’re more singles-oriented, you may substitute top singles from either of those years.
(Next week, we conclude with 2005/2015.)

I'll start with this, from 1985.
The Replacements
“Tim”
Released Sept. 18, 1985
On a sad note, this is the final studio release by The Mats that involved guitarist and co-founder Bob Stinson.
(Opening track)
Some notable lyrics:
“Unwillingness to claim us, ya got no war to name us.”
“The ones who love us best are the ones we'll lay to rest /// The ones who love us least are the ones we'll die to please.”
