@authorunknown, thanks, Dire Straits were on a roll during the first half of the 80's.

Great to see Love Over Gold as no. 1. Good list in general, could have been even better without all the Iron Maiden albums though.

@sethmadsen, this is actually the chart I'm the least satisfied with and it needs much work. I could end being more similar to yours in the end.

12/49 ain't shabby for comparison. You definitely have a different aesthetic than I, but still great list. Oh and Tunnel Of Love was a good first listen for me.
