Buzzdainer, thanks for the nice comment! Since I'm an 80s child, many of these albums accompanied me during my childhood and later on in my teenage years. Compiling this list was a fun trip down memory lane for me. :)

I really appreciate the depth and balance of this chart, with a nice geographical diversity and lots of different genres represented. Some of my favorite selections here are Murmur, The Stone Roses, Disintegration, and Doolittle (which I know everyone loves, but it's for good reason). Excellent work on this chart!
