Crazy cool list!

Loreena at #1?!?! Way cool
Sisters of Mercy? Never seen them listed, but Floodland is a great disc!

[nocturnaldelight]

You're right: "Floodland" is only in 18 "Greatest album charts". That's surprising because I remember that they were very popular at the time in Europe and "This Corrosion" was played up and down on the radio.

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

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.
