We hope that you enjoyed our feature on The Best Albums of 1985. If you happened to miss it - please click here.
There were so many great releases that didn't get included in the Best Albums of 1985 feature - since we limited ourselves to the Top 10. In this post you will find 12 more albums / EPs / compilations that Sarah and I selected that needed to be represented. A track from each album is added to the playlist at the bottom - and we threw in 45 extra songs that we thoroughly enjoy. We hope you do too! So without further delay, here are our Honorable Mentions for 1985.
