Congratulations anyway!

Very good 80`s chart if I keep in mind that there are so many brilliant albums in your overall chart that are missing here.
Pleased to see John Cales "Music..."

I'm 49 and this brings back great memories of John Peel. Here's a few more names that might ring a bell from the Peel show during the early to mid 80s (the golden age):
The Gymslips
Serious Drinking
3 Mustaphas 3
The Ukrainians
Native Hipsters
Belle Stars
Frank Chickens
