Very nice, classic eighties chart, but with enough surprises to keep it interesting. Graceland and Nebraska are great albums. Nice to see them included among some less familiar material.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
We work very hard to ensure our site is as fast (and FREE!) as possible, and we respect your privacy.
