Top 82 Music Albums of the 1980s by ihwar2000 
This is a mirror of the toplist from my web site, which is dedicated to rating and comparing albums and artists. To be able to compare albums of different genres I have written my own rating formula, which is based on weighed song ratings.
I'm currently reevaluating my entire database of albums with a more thorough rating process, which means that this list is bound to change. I'm of course also always searching for new interesting music.

(In my collection I have added The Celts, a slightly altered version released in 1992, instead of this release, which has been discontinued.)
