I have already added a lot more albums into the decade charts but the overall greatest album chart will be updated later when I finished rating my remaining albums.

The 80s will likely remain dominant because the britpop wave of the 90s killed my interest in "regular" music for a long time when EDM was much more exciting.

this may be true, but a lot of us weren't alive at the time, which likely goes for the majority of this site's users.

So over 2/3 of the best albums were released during the 80s? 🤔
