Love the chart! Very refreshing to see so many pop albums. I get the feeling that these truly are favorites of yours and that they enjoy a lot of rotation when you're listening to music. (Not a fan of Kate Bush, though...but, that's just me.)

80`s Pop Chart.OK
But I think there are lot`s of poor 80`s albums of bands that did brilliant albums in the 70`s and poor albums in the 80`s like most of the "Prog-Rock" bands: Alan Parsons, Supertramp, Mike Oldfield or Queen.
