Outstanding eighties chart! Love the enthusiasm for Doolittle and Remain in Light, both of which I have ranked way up there, too.

I like what you've done here! Stone roses, Queen is dead, Ocean rain.... all good! I am just always lost when people prefer doolittle to them all? Other than that, great!
I was hoping to see the field mice, but never mind :)

A bit of a mixed bag. I like a lot of what you have in your charts, but then you stick in things like Tears for Fears and Duran Duran. Everyone to their own, but I couldn't say that I liked everything.
