Top 100 Music Albums of 1988 by Moondance

~ comments to be updated~
age 32 - living in Cabramurra (highest township in Australia) - a company town of 50 families & 100 mostly single men. Most nights a good number of us would gather at the one & only bar to drink & play guitars/sing songs.
year in music ranking: #10 of 63. This is my favourite year of the 80's and has between 3 to 5 albums in my top 100 of all time (depending on how I am feeling when I review my top 100 chart)

After your latest edits Moondance, I have now 26 (of 42) in common with you. I am certain this is only going to increase, as I see you've listed some great bands I really enjoyed from this era: Hunters & Collectors (though I don't think I have this album anywhere!), Psuedo Echo (never realised they were Australian - had always took them to be UK) and Eurogliders among many others.
