I read the first few pages and saw no mention of Joy Division's Closer, wow.... No Purple Rain mentions either.
Yeah Doolittle gets more play from me than any other album from the decade though.
Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska. Michael Jackson's Thriller. The Cure's Disintegration. The Stone Roses. Those are probably the runner ups. (b/c I don't own Joshua Tree on vinyl but I play War).
A whoooooole bunch of death/black/thrash metal.
NWOBM such as Priest and Maiden.
The Great Adventures Of Slick Rick. It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back. Straight Outta Compton. Paid In Full. Criminal Minded. Lots of rap too actually.
If you're only into rock and can't stand metal or rap, yeah I can see why you'd be disappointed in 80's music but music in general branched out so much in that decade. We haven't seen that much new and drastic variety in all the time that's passed since combined.
No-wave (Swans), industrial (NIN's Pretty Hate Machine), grunge (Nirvana's Bleach), alt rock (Pixies, REM), goth (Bauhaus), all 80's babies. I'm really sorry for you if you're not into 80's music so much. I guess some ppl only listen to classical or 60's/70's rock though and since it is better I can't really say I blame you... but what are you doing here, really?

Are you saying that even though classic/60s/70s rock is better, if people aren't into 80s music "so much," it's pointless for them to be active here?

No Wave, industrial, goth and rap all started in the 70s. Arguably metal started in the late 60s and branched out in the 70s. There are subgenres of preexisting genres that emerged in the 80s and 90s, but the fundamental styles were established already. Perhaps more diversification happened in the 80s than subsequent decades, but since the essential genres were already in place and the diversification continued into the 90s and beyond, it seems a relatively minor point.
