Top 62 Music Albums of the 1980s by kramerfan86

Admittedly not the best chart, full of guilty pleasures I got into when younger. Overall the 80s just feel a little weak compared to other decades, but it could just be me underexploring it.

From kramerfan86 06/04/2013 06:09

Yea the higher amount of metal is more do to how little of the decade I have in my library and less to do with major metal love. Not to say Im piling in albums I dislike, but in a stronger decade they would definitely be squeezed out.

There's a little too much heavy metal here for my tastes, but overall it's very nice.
