Top 30 Music Albums of the 1980s by mv3k 
I'm changing my rating system from previous ranking --/100 to simpler scale 1-10 that will be look like that
10 - literally perfect
9+ - almost perfect
9 - great with minor flaws
8+ - very very good
8 - very good
7+ - good, enjoyable listen
7 - good
6+ - ok with potential
6 - ok
5, 5+ - mid
4, 4+ - not very bad
3, 3+ - bad
2, 2+ - very bad
1, 1+ - awful
I will also give average track rating for each album, but I won't always base my score on it, but on my overall enjoyment of each record.
Until I finish changing it you will find both types of ratings old and new in my charts.
