Wow, other than the Beastie Boys at number 2, this list is almost perfect! We have a ton of similarities -- before I changed my list to one album per artist, there were a lot more, like Spirit of Eden; Power, Corruption, Lies; Sister; Swordfishtrombones. Dino Jr, This Heat, XTC, Violent Femmes are my next albums in also.

I really like your chart man
I was listening to deceit and came to see who has charted it, and guess what? You're the only one here to chart it!
Great chart, but I think there's too much hip-hop albums on it. I love daydream nation too, isn't that the greatest album ever?!

Congratulations on copying the top half of Pitchfork's Top 100 albums of the 80s list onto a different site.
