By: Mike C
  • 10. Licensed to Ill by The Beastie Boys
    What can I say, first mainstream rap album Fight for your right to party
  • 9. Love & Rockets by Love & Rockets
    Ball of Confusion remake gave them an in, but the follow up was awesome, Industrial rock hit the mainstream
  • 8. The Real Thing by Faith No More
    Pre Nirvana, This album is incredible. Grunge started here,I still remember hearing Epic on mainstream radio
  • 7. Reach the Beach by The Fixx
    Unlike any other sound "Reach the Beach" and "Outside" are great
  • 6. The Unforgettable Fire by U2
    I dunno, I thought The Joshua Tree was good, but this one was more from the heart.
  • 5. Neruda by Red Rider
    I know, Lunatic Fringe isn't on this one, but it is amazing
  • 4. Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
    This one is amazing, I can listen to every track, but Fisherman's Blues is timeless
  • 3. Love by The Cult
    Excellent Not sure why they went so heavy after this
  • 2. Road Apples by The Tragically Hip
    Could be the most underrated band ever Quality of work is awesome
  • 1. The Crossing by Big Country
    Definitely the best album of the 80s. Completely original, never duplicated I'm not sure anyone could try. "Porrohman is incredible" maybe the best song ever recorded
I tried to make a list of albums where all of the songs were listenable, not just singles, there were lots of great songs, but the rest of the album blew, some great songs of the 80s: Peter Schilling - Major Tom, 99 Luftballons - Nena, Rock Me Amadeus - Falco, Gemini Dream - Moody Blues, In The Air Tonight - Phil Collins, Live Is Life - Opus, Empty Garden - Elton John, Civil War - Guns n Roses
