I really do not care about whether people or music authorities take this list into consideration. This is a list reflecting my choices. If I cared about others' opinions I would have made this list prepared by them. I really do not know what kind of a trauma you experienced at 80s. I had a marvelous teenage period full of music. If you couldn't live at that time I advice u to start living as soon as possible before it's too late for u!

This chart represents why the 80s aren't taken seriously as a musical decade.

I agree with u; nevertheless since i grew up with 80’s music, I shared the albums that first came to my mind. It will change by time…

Some great albums but very heavy on the 80's. Other decades offer amazing music as well.
