Top 87 Music Albums of the 1980s by Bungalowracoon
I chose the 80's decade to do first as I thought it would be easiest ??
So firstly I copied the order of the first twenty or so 80's albums that appear on my 100 greatest of all time -
this just made me question the ordering of my 100 greatest list !!
I then added the 80's albums from my collection - this further made me question my greatest 100 chart as there appeared to be albums I had omitted that I possibly favoured to the ones I included??
I then included a few albums that I have on cassette that I never updated on to cd ........ Whitney Houston .....,,. I can't even remember that happening - or ive just blocked it out ??
After all that I have a list of 80 odd albums that are in a relatively acceptable order - for now
However, I did not include live albums or greatest hits (which I seem to have a lot of from this era) -
if live albums were included the Duran Duran Arena would fly straight to the top spot as that album was the early 80's for me !!!
