Top Albums of the '80's - Recap

So, we've completed the series on the Top 100 Albums of the 80's that I have the entire albums.
The final list:

Recapping: 

#92 - Tom Petty - Full Moon Fever

#85 - Neil Young - Freedom

#80 - Suzanne Vega - Suzanne Vega

#75 - Cyndi Lauper - She's So Unusual

#70 - Travelling Wilburies - Vol. 1

#57 - Pete Townshend - Empty Glass

#55 - John Fogarty - Centerfield

#52 - Dire Straits - Making Movies

#48 - XTC - Skylarking

#26 - AC/DC - Back In Black

#20 - Pretenders - Prentenders

#17 - Police - Synchronicity

#14 - Peter Gabriel - So

# 8 - R.E.M. - Murmur

# 5 - Paul Simon Graceland

# 1 The Clash - London Calling

That's 16 albums of the Top 100, which is more than I expected.  But beyond that, there's another 17 albums that I have portions of (either through "hits" collections or the joys of per-song mp3 purchases).

These include:  Rolling Stones - Steel Wheels (#87), David Bowie - Let's Dance (#83), Van Halen - 1984 (#81), Human League - Dare (#78), Marshall Crenshaw- Marshall Crenshaw (#72), Randy Newman - Trouble In Paradise (#67), Def Leppard - Pyromania (#62), Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel (melt) (#46), R.E.M. - Document (#41), ZZ Top - Eliminator (#39), Rolling Stones - Tattoo You (#34), John Lennon - Double Fantasy (#29), Guns And Roses - Appetite For Destruction (#27), Prince - 1999 (#16), Michael Jackson - Thriller (# 7), Talking Heads - Remain In Light (#4), Prince - Purple Rain (# 2)



All in all, it's not a bad collection of music.  Granted, it isn't exactly 1967....  But not so bad.

This inspired me to look at all the albums I own that were relaed in the 80's.  And I have more than I expected (just over 100).  So, I'm thinking I'll do a "Best Of The 80's" series that reflects my humble opinions, rather than the editors of Rolling Stone magazine.
Stay tuned!
