It created an onslaught of Technopop albums.

The boss definitely settled his nitch.

Addicted to Love! The greatest song of the 80's period.

Should be #1 but there so many good ones out there.

Legendary group Legendary album.

Its what put Madonna over the top.

Every song was a hit on this album.

Powerpop written all over it. An album for the ages

A very anticipated album-lukewarm when it came out but its impact everlasting.

Hit the masses like a sledgehammer with its unique sound then disappeared.

THE UNDENIABLE KING OF FUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! May he live on and on too.

One of the baddest White soul singers of his time. May he live on and on.

They were not Hair Metal. Feel-good danceable metal is more like it. They rocked. POUR SOME SUGAR ON ME!!!!!!

I may be a brotha, but I'm a fan of heavy metal. The people who said they seemed like they were the next Rolling Stones were right. This is definitely a classic album! Why Axl act like a biatch now?! I don't get it.

The ultimate album from the ultimate Queen of Rock! RECOMMENDED!

His Royal Badness was COOL way before his time.

No one can touch Michael or Janet if you had a ten-foot pole. They're the king and queen of pop, stop messin'! This album is indeed a classic. 20 years and still fresh. Michael is STILL the man, don't hate.

The best that ever done it. The king. An underrated classic that deserves its own position in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Mike Jack never sounds so fresh.

Again, as I said, NO ONE can touch the QUEEN! Another classic album. The one that broke her away from the Jackson family and into pop mythology. Definitely a legendary album! RECOMMENDED FOR '80S R&B, DANCE & POP LOVERS!

First off, this woman, along with Madonna, had a lot to do with today's female artist. She's the Queen of it all and in the late-'80s, there was nothing bad u could say about Janet Jackson. This album, IMHO, made her the legend she has become today. It's so fresh, so wicked, a classic album. No one can top the true Queen of Pop & R&B, please believe it!

Yeah, for a while I wished that I could really play keyboards and be Nick Rhodes would get sick, and the gang would call me up to ask me to fill in at the last minute. The girls would love me, the guys would want to be like me, and it all happened with this album. Duran Duran went on to put out many great pieces of 80s music but never topped this. Me? I grew up and became a lawyer. *laugh*

'And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile" Even at 10 yrs old, I knew that the Talking Heads could burn down the house.

Vernon Reid and Corey Glover are just amazing... plain and simple. I wore this one out my first semester in college.

After I made my mother realize that just because the women on the cover were in towels, the album wasn't obscene, I wore out 2 copies of the LP. Good stuff, those go-go's.

:)

The plight of the family farm was only starting to be known. JCM smacked us square in the face with it. One of the few albums I can listen to from start to finish and wish there was still more. There are days I feel like Minutes to Memories was written just for me.

'In the empire of the senses, you're the queen of all you survey." Sting's first solo album was his best.

Was the tape my best friend and I would pop in when we went cruising and wanted to be cool. We weren't, but it wasn't the album's fault. Lacked the commercial appeal of KICK, which only helped me like it more.

Definately an unrepresented genre from what I saw in other lists. LMO is considered one of the very best in contemporary Christrian music. It was music from Amy while she was still on the edge of mainstream success while dealing with questions of her life and faith. First line, first song pretty much sums up the 80s for me, "We were young, and none of us knew quite what to say...". The only Christian album I own.

Still probably one of the best albums I have ever heard... I imagine in 30 yrs I'll still say the same.

I love this album. I thought that the lead singer was so cute too!

Love these guys as well!

I love r.e.m!

Eddie Van Halen Is Awesome.

Metal Up Your Ass!

Crue Fans Are The Best!

The greatest album by probably the greatest band.

the mtv icon,getting rid of her bubble gum pop style into more kick butt style,and her videos are so cool.

rulers of video age,heartthrobs,pretty guys,great songs.wow!i love it.

one of the top performers and this made him a star,also another star rocked mtv.

a classical album from the irish band,their songs are truly pure genuis they were so young and yet so great.

cool heavy metal with keyboards,its the greatest album ever,when you listen to it,thats how it proves how great it is.

cool l.a heavy metal,love the songs like welcome to the jungle and sweet child of mime etc,this rocks your world.

its also one of my favourite prince albums,it shows the true diverse of prince,he became a superstar and rocked mtv,a genius,i love when doves cry.

this showed the serious and personal side of madonna,and the album is quite controversal,but its a great album,and she is so great.

getting rid of his cheesy image in boy band style,into more mature and saucy style,exellent songs.

these are the best albums from the sheifield quient,i'm crazy about these guys and the videos are great on mtv.

Probably my favourite album. This was a pop album where style and substance met. Remember the Eighties music scene was as much visual as it was aural. The Twins were leaders in there pop field and there tunes stand up today.

Everytime I tell someone that I like Level 42 (who have heard of them) I get laughed at. There isn't any reason to, they really are overlooked and deserve more credit than they get. Slightly pretentious granted, but with songs like "Lessons in Love", "Freedom Someday" and "Running in the Family" there is certainly some vein of talent running through the band and this album.

Yazoo are really worth a re-visit. They were a duo and there songs were really simple, but they had classic riffs and hooks aplenty.

So suave, so modern, so stylish, so Berlin 1920's. The Synth is fast becoming the Strataverius of our time.

"Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while" Indeed!

Australia's answer to Duran Duran. This is a fantastic album and the track "Current Stand" is one of the great songs of the Eighties. For all those that can, get a copy of this album you won't be disappointed.

I was worded up about this album by a colleague who said I would really like it. I finally got around to listening to it completely sometime in the nineties and he was right. Lloyd Cole really seemed to know where he was at and this album is a product of that talent and confidence.

Sure it was lambasted for being overly commercial, but I for one can't tell the difference. I just like it.

I roomed at boarding school with a guy who played this album from dawn to dusk, and I hated it. But by the end of that semester, I had to own it, Matt Johnson is one of the great word smiths of his time.

Joyous, so disposeable, so pop, so now, I mean then.
