grammy album winners, my choices by 
paladisiac 
In this chart, i will go year-by-year and post which album *I* would've chosen among the grammy nominees for album of the year. I start with 1966, the first year i have enough knowledge about the nominated albums to make a choice. I'm going off of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammy_Award_for_Album_of_the_Year .

1984. The Police and Billy Joel albums are strong albums. It's sadly funny that David Bowie wasn't ever nominated before this, his first almost-purposefully pop album. But the winner had to be jacko.

1985. One of Born In the U.S.A. or Purple Rain deserved this award. Screw the Commodores (even though i like them) -- this was major larceny. Even Cyndi Lauper's album showed more innovation as well as pop smarts. Purple Rain is an exception to my soundtrack rule because it feels like a single-vision, coherent album, which makes sense since this whole thing was Prince's baby.

1986. Outside of Whitney, there are a lot of lifetime achievement awards in here. Oh, and Sting appears on 3 of these albums, including the winning album, of which i agree with.

1987. The finalists for who i'd award this to are both quite deserving and both take their inspiration from a similar place, more apparent on Graceland than So.
Actual winner: Paul Simon - Graceland [First added to this chart: 02/15/2013]

1988. I can make a case for Bad, Sign O' The Times and The Joshua Tree. My favorite of those is Bad, but i think the other two albums deserved "album of the year" more. Both efforts were masterful, but i side with the more sprawling vision.
Actual winner: u2 - the joshua tree [First added to this chart: 02/15/2013]

1989. He's actually a pretty good artist. Too bad this gay man was marketed as a simple, pop confection to the ladies.. This is my least-favorite choice since i picked toto iv.

1990. Bonnie Raitt? Really?? Ugh. Nothing innovative from grandma riatt. Outside of FYC, it's just a bunch of lifetimers. Still, tom petty seems faintly more deserving than don henley.

1991. For me, 1990 began Grammy's dark ages, becoming so out-of-touch with the innovation and great works of the times that it was utterly laughable. Quincy Jones?! Couldn't they see what was going on at the time? Then you throw in Mariah Carey, MC Hammer and Wilson Phillips and i just want to throw up (despite liking a couple of these albums). They should've given a lifetime achievment award to Phil Collins, an album which also sported Grammy-loved Eric Clapton (coming up..), Steve Winwood and David Crosby.
Actual winner: Quincy Jones/ Various Artists - Back On The Block [First added to this chart: 02/15/2013]

Great concept for a custom list. I'd be interested to see your choices if each year weren't limited to the actual nominees.
