So 80s

In the last month or so I've been listening to a lot of my albums and many of them have been from the 1980s and 1990s. So, I thought I'd compile my favorite albums from the 1980s.

Here's the list in no particular order:

Scritti Politti: Cupid and Psyche '85
Prince: Sign O' the Times
The Pixies: Doolittle
REM: Murmur
REM: Document
Kate Bush: The Hounds of Love
Talking Heads: Remain in Light
New Order: Technique
Peter Gabriel: So
Robbie Robertson: Robbie Roberston
Pet Shop Boys: Please

I tried to narrow it down to ten but I just couldn't decide on which album to knock off the list. I have all of them except one (but I have heard it numerous times).

Then, after making my list, I thought I'd look at the best selling albums for the 1980s. Here it is:

I was shocked to discover that I don't have any of them and I haven't even heard Thriller. Oh well.

It'd be interesting to hear about others favorite albums from the 1980s.
