Very interesting 80s chart melisandre, a lot of common albums and artists in my list, but a good few that I've never heard, so I'll be checking them out. Just one thing, Hounds of Love needs to be higher on your list than The Sensual World. While I do love The Sensual World, Hounds of Love is a far superior album, The Ninth Wave.....need I say any more. Great chart overall though.
