Top 100 Albums of the 80s

Seltzer, Wayfarer and I have stayed up all night arguing and narrowing down this list. It was around 180 and we've narrowed it down to 100. Thank us! Tomorrow I'll be posting the list after I do a rough mix around.
 
Alright guys, I'm going to start ordering this list and then I'll post the order and we'll debate and rearrange it. I'll try and have it up by the weekend.
 
rab's Top 100 Albums of the 80s - Rate Your Music

CURRENT LIST ^


Okay this is going to be a giant collaborative effort and the goal is at the end to have the top 100 albums from the 60s to the 00s. I figure we should start with the 80s just because. So everyone should post what they think the best albums of the 80s are. I'm not going to give you a size regulation or anything you could post 100 or you could post 1. If you think someone nominated an album that isn't worthy then we'll argue it out and decide whether or not it belongs there. I've kind of composed a fairly extensive list already, let me know if you have any objections to the picks on there and suggest your own!

Please note, this list is completely tentative. Some of these albums I just mentioned because they tend to get but I don't feel they should be on. Once we compose a decent sized list then we can start knocking stuff off.


10,000 Maniacs "In My Tribe"
10,000 Maniacs "Blind Mans Zoo"
AC/DC "Back in Black"

Before you remove things you should define what this list is about a bit more accurately.

What do you mean by "top 100 albums"?

Best, most influential, most culturally important. That totally effects what should be removed.

e.g. Madonna like a virgin may not be one of the best albums but it would be one of the most influential.
I suggested tons of recording that I don't really like because I was including cultural importance and influence as a determining factor.

What is the criteria?
 
Oh come on , The mid 80s was goth central & The Cults Love album was about the only goth album worth bothering with.

If you hate She Sells Sanctuary you have no soul.
 
Another One Bites the Dust is the most overrated Queen song ever and songs like that are pretty rare for them in the 80s anyway. There discography seems to be made up of crap like Don't Try Suicide and so on. That album marked the start of a terrible period for Queen. They changed everything they did and threw away all their credibility for synthesizers and boring 80s music.
