(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.

I don't like Bon Jovi that much, but this is a quality album.

Great album that lacks bass guitar which is the only bad thing I can really say about it. The epic "One" and "Harvestor of Sorrow" and every other track on the album is great.

Aces High and 2 mins to midnight are metal classics.

Very quick musicially, but the satanic lyrics are lame.

Great metal album.

Awesome album, their second best.

Hallowed be they name, 22 Acia Avenue, Number of the beast, Run to the hills. Enough said.

Back in Black and Hells Bells have very cool sounding riffs by guitar maestro, Angus Young. And the song "You shook me all night long" is the ultimate sex song.

I love the entire album like MOP. Slash plays really cool riffs and Axl wrote song really cool songs.

The Ultimate heavy metal album and the best rock n roll album of the 1980's. James Hetfield's intelligent lyrics and great riffs, Cliff Burton and his sensational bass playing and Kirk Hammett's awesome guitar solo's. This is a must have album for all metal fans and it is MetallicA's best album.

whip it was a hit, but they were an on stage presence like no other

great 80s band

what a great representation of the 80s

5 songs of 8 are big hits, not bad

few songs are greater than fascination street

couple great hits by the music vid gods

big seller, few hits though

not anymore

hard to find a more well put together album in the 80s

I dont think any album catapulted a band like joshua tree did to U2

Our House and It must be love just scrape this in at number 10

Really I only put in this album because of the title song. Its a classic must have single but the rest of the album is pretty good too.

Lay Your Hands On Me is one of the best songs Bon Jovi have ever done, but I like all the songs that are on this album as well

A Kind Of Magic is Roger Taylor's best song. One vision is also very good

Aces High is one of my favourite songs ever. 2 minutes to midnight is also great

Welcome To The Jungle, Paradise City, Nightrain, and Sweet Child Of Mine are all great songs and are still played to this day

A collection of the best songs of one of the greatest artists of all time

Livin' on a Prayer - what else do I need to say?

Their best album. The energy that comes out from just about every song is great. Run to the Hills and Number of the Beast are the beast

What can I say. Bohemian Rhapsody, Dont Stop Me Now, Another One Bites the Dust. Really all the tracks on this album are brilliant. If you dont have this album GET IT

THE BEST

Every song on this album rocked and the liner pix of Nikki Sixx provided countless hours of visual pleasure!

Up here simply because Slash is the man...Sweet Child of Mine especially comes to mind.

With songs such as Take My Breath Away and Highway to the Danger Zone, this album is the epitome of what the 80s were all about!!

Starts out strong and never lets up. Not quite as good as their first album, but who can blame that for having come out in '78?

This is on here for obvious reasons. Pure Metal at its best, and Orion and Sanitarium are simply not to be missed.

Another hair band classic.

Enough said.

After the bells toll solemnly in the opening track, the band's new era started...and it started with a bang.

Each time I listen to it I find another song I like. Isn't that what great albums are all about?

A classic. What more can i say about it?

The ultimate album from the ultimate band. Though not as hard as earlier albums, this album is so ripe with pure emotion (see To Live Is To Die especially) that is just has to be up there.

If an 80s time capsule were to be put together, this album would have to be in it. This is a pop album - nothing more. Every song sounds like it came straight out of 1984!

There is a reason this is the number 1 selling album of all time. Well-crafted pop with Michael and Quicy Jones at their absolute best!

At the peak of his popularity, Prince proves to be way ahead of his time and also shows his influences. I must have listened to this album hundreds of times!

Steve Perry's vocals, Neil Schon's guitars, Jonathan Cain's piano, and every song struck a chord!

This is an album that you turn up really loud drive all night with your friends and everybody knows every word!

Probably the first mega-stars to owe their success to MTV. This album was great from first cut to last!

If you were a teenager in the U.S. in the 80s, you knew every song on this album!

Really fun album to listen to. The last album with David Lee Roth and it sounds just as fresh today as it did almost 20 years ago!

The last great project from a band that broke up too soon!

A better album will never be made!

love BJ !

jon rocks my fckin world !!
