Top 43 Music Albums of 1981 by

In 1982, I was heavily into synth music, but was beginning to explore a wider rangeof genres. A lot of the music I listened to and bought that year turned out to be crap, but I was on a steep learning curve.

Nice chart! '81 was a good year for music. Thanks for introducing me to Kevin Coyne.

I'm just a little confused: "In 1982, I was heavily into synth music, but was beginning to explore a wider rangeof genres." - what music were you into in 1981?
..anyway, I hardly know any albums here but all your great comments make me curious to check them out! What do you think of ELO? Maybe you are one of those who think they are too silly, but I think they have made a pretty good album that year!
