These are my personal top 50 albums released in 1984. The following criteria was used on a very slippery sliding scale:

• How often I enjoyed the album at the time of release
• How often I've enjoyed the album over the years since
• Overall quality of the album

Chart information is from the US Billboard, CashBox, and Rolling Stone album charts.
