Top 43 Music Albums of the 1980s
by YoungPunk 
a rating of 90 is the cutoff for decade charts
Running commentary: Socialism started gaining traction in Britain, handicapping them, this lead to the ability for the U.S. (especially Prince) to compete. There was healthy competition and thus quality music was made, though not as high as if Britain had remained more capitalist :( (cuz they have more classical background)
