The Beggining of an era...

No Coments...

Same of The Works

Full of classic songs

Jon Anderson still singing perfectly

It changed my mind....

Oh boy... this is a treasure....

This 3 first albuns ( thriller, queen is dead and the wall) could be all in the 1st place together...

Simply Perfect...

Simply Perfect...

grew up listening to it,this list can't be without it.

without a doubt,Metallica at the peak of their career,Cliff Burton last album with the boys,every damn songs kick ass,Battery,Master of Puppets,Damage Inc,Orion,everything on this album is just too good to be true...

the pixies could have been as big as the beatles or U2,but they just don't have the luck,ironically Pixies is a better band than U2 in my opinion,anyway,this album kick some serious ass,and Francis Black's and Kim Deal's Duet makes this the best duet album since Ella and Louis in 1956,i don't know if i call that a joke,but somehow it makes sense...

Husker Du's most melodic album,if you haven't heard of them,check them out,and you can see where Franics Black and Kurt Cobain get their vocal trick from.one of the greatest underrated band ever.

this album used the most samples ever assembled on tapes,and every songs sounds so fresh,funny,funky and much much more,and beastie boys at their creative peak,check out the beatles sampled track The Sounds of Science.

brit rock at it best,but sounds very very original....and every track is damn good

this album grows on you,everytime i listen,i thought i am listening to some funk of jazz record,which each listens,more funk is digged

the US version contains Fools Gold and Elephant Stone(which the UK original tracklisting doesn't have),which is very very important to make this album of the 90s.

Phil Spector,Beach Boys,Velvet Underground,The Stooges all into one fucking wall of sounds

the most influential band of the alternative rock scene.

Top album.

Although not as good as their earlier stuff, still a brilliant album from start to finish.

Some of his lyrics might be controversial to say the least, who else could have the musical innovation he showed with lodi dodi.

A timeless album.

Forget All that you can't leave behind, U2 is in cruise control now. U2's earlier stuff is far more interesting.

Run-DMC perfected rap, but this is where it began.

Incredible for a band to lose there lead singer and come back with an album this good.

Defining moment of music, but all downhill for MJ from here.

Consistently brilliant funk from start to finish. Roger Troutman is the most underated artist ever.

What can I say, best rap album ever.

Mostly forgotten, Franke & The Knockouts were known for hits like "Sweetheart" and "Without You (Not Another Lonely Night)." If you can find this album, it is a great rock-n-roll album.

While Michael Jackson lost his touch after this album, there was something about this album that worked...even if it hasn't aged well.

Metal ruled in the 80s, and this is the album that started it all!

Supertramp frontman showed he was better off without his group,

Probably the only album to bridge the gap between the old Queen and the new Queen...and it was great.

Boston was back in a big way in the 80s!

Who can forget this album? It ruled.

This album set the stage for a lot of sound that followed, but this was the original.

Even 20 years later, this album rocks!

The final bow by Styx in the 80s was also a masterpiece

There were many soundtracks released in the eighties, and many of them became popular. Married To The Mob was not a hugely popular soundtrack (and sadly is out of print on CD) but it was one of the quirkiest and most enjoyable with artists ranging from Ziggy Marley to New Order to Chris Isaak to Debbie Harry. Hopefully, one day this soundtrack will be released on CD in a remastered version.

Bananarama could have been written off as a fluffy girl-group or a novelty act, but throughout the 80s, Bananrama had a string of big hits both in the UK and in the US. 1987's Wow was their most consistent pop record, thanks to the production of SAW (Stock, Aitken and Waterman). Their production was never better than on this album, and the Nanas would never sound as good.

One of the most thoughtful pop/rock albums of the 80s, which seemed to spawn anthem after anthem.

Coming off the critical success of 1979's "The Boss", Diana Ross was showing she was back in charge of her career, after it began to stall in the late seventies. Hooking up with Chic's Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards, Diana Ross took on a fresh sound with diana. It was lean, funky and hip and still sounds fresh over 20 years later, particularly thanks to a new reissue from Motown which features the original Chic mix of the album that was never released.

Kim Wilde is best known for her hits "Kids In America" and her remake of "You Keep Me Hanging On" but her best work came in 1988 when she made this pure pop pleasure.

After the breakup of Blondie and her lacklustre solo career, it looked like Deborah Harry's career was heading nowhere, and while this album was not a commercial success, it was her best work since Blondie's late seventies popularity. "Def, Dumb and Blonde" was the perfect Deborah Harry solo album, with songs that harkened back to Blondie's heyday but was also plugged into the current sound of the eighties.

Thanks to the production of Andre Cymone (who had previously worked with Prince), Jody Watley's debut was an alluring mix of Minneapolis funk and R&B pop, and Watle's sophisticated image made her one of the more interesting dance divas of the late eighties.

Considered Madonna's first "adult" record, the superstar's sound was less synthetic on this album, with more instruments as opposed to drum machines, and the lyrics and music were stronger and heartfelt, setting the stage for her mature work in the nineties, including "Erotica" and "Ray of Light".

Yes it was the biggest seller from the eighties, but it was also a brilliant pop record. Except for the soggy duet with Paul McCartney ("The Girl Is Mine"), Michael was never better than he was here.

So many great hits: "Let's Go Crazy", "When Doves Cry", "I Would Die 4 U" and the album tracks, "The Beautiful Ones" and "Baby I'm A Star" are just as good as the radio smashes.

Launched pop metal, album still stands the test of time

Worked synthsizer wonders!!

Classic cuts off of that one

Perfect pop/rock album

Actually hated the album in the 80's, but had a change of heart recently when I listened to it again.

Before Sting became a pretentious prick, he was a pretty good front man in a great band

New wave pioneers who shaped 90's rock!!

Brian didn't miss a bit after Bon!!

Before P.Diddy and Eminem, when hip-hop actually had substance

Simply of the greatest metal albums of all time

What can you say about one of the most selling albulms ever!

Punk masters, the Clash rocked the casbah like no other!

I know it wasn't the 80s but they then became New Order and they were!!! Unkown Pleasures is too important to ignore

Stinkin thinkin all round, great band, great music for lads being lads!

New Order's most serious and statement based albulm

Pop music at its cheesy best, cmon, you know you like it!

Greatest rock alulm of the eighties, evry song blows you away!

Lets Dance!

Aussies at their best, Michael is the best frontman to a band ever!!!

The timeless New Order at their best!!!

any word that i can say is too small to describe this album

these album represent the rock music of that country

a masterpiece

this album featuring all that rock and roll need to have

all the metal is here

buy it

amazing

judas priest best album

basic

terrifyc

(1988) This one is actually tied with the Pixies "Surfer Rosa". Both albums are great in their own rights and were released the same year.

(1987) The first cohesive Sonic Youth album. Very rough, but after a few listens, it grows on you....like mold.

(1986) So off-kilter and majestic. A very underrated band of the decade.

(1985) I'm not a huge fan of this guy's voice, but I love these songs.

(1980) Ian Curtis was a horrible talent to lose.

(1987) I hate metal, but I'll be damned if I don't enjoy listening to this every once in a while if not just for Slash.

(1986) Morrissey's voice and Marr's guitar playing are highly unique.

(1989) Super-simple songs that are timeless and highly influential.

(1989) My favorite rap album of all time.

(1988) Paved the way for alternative/indie guitar rock.
