album. thank you

Great 80s chart! Good to see so much Duran Duran and Depeche Mode. And Sports by Huey Lewis. Have you heard Fore! by them too? Some classic albums here.

Great chart...... I think "head on the door" is one of the cure's finest,
And I love the replacements.....give "pleased to meet me" a try
