Great chart! Hard to argue with most picks, and good variety of genres. Joshua Tree has grown on me recently and is a solid choice at #1.

25 albums in common from the 80s nice! You seem to like more rock from the 80s then I thought you would since you like so much pop on your 2000s list. You do have some new wave which I highly approve of, seems like most of my 80s list is new wave haha. Good chart!

Why is Hysteria only the second best on your 1980's list, when it's the best on the overall? Sorry, I think your lists should match each other.
