Good point, jeez, I seldom think to include "rap" albums. Straight Outta Compton! Hell yeah, Spruie.
Stone Cold Rhymin' (Young MC) is on this list too. That may be the best pure rap album of all time - a "crossover" album that even whitey can bust a move on.
Haha, very true. Also, Throwaway, I'm glad you pointed out Petty's Full Moom Fever. I don't know how the hell I forgot it but it's def. top 10 from this decade, as is GNRs Appetite for Destruction, which you also listed. |

Of the top of my head, and I'm missing alot of stuff I just couldn't think of...
Jane's Addiction - Nothing Shocking
The Cult - Love
Black Flag - Damaged
The Replacements - Every album they released up to and including, Let It Be
The Clash - Combat Rock
Husker Du - Zen Arcade
Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique
Dinosaur Jr - Bug
Love & Rockets - Seventh Dream Of Teenage Heaven
Sonic Youth - Sister or Evol (I'm torn between both)
Pixies - Doolittle (I like this better than Surfer Rosa)
No G&R, Smiths or REM, you all should be ashamed of yourself...
I excluded Stones and Stones related b/c they are given, and need not be mentioned, except for Jaggers stuff, that's pure crap to me.

Shame, shame, shame! You guys just didn't graduate highschool with the hip classmates I had... Their highlight of senior coolness was competing in the local mall lyp sync contest to...
But our Central Catholic Junior Year spirit week had a much better reason for donning bandanas, jeans and baseball caps...

Aside from adding the Stones to the list, I don't think I could name 10 albums from the 80's that I truly love. However, I do really like the following...
ANY album by the Smiths, The Stone Roses debut and Appetite For Destruction by Guns 'N' Roses.

Just off the top of my head (I'm sure I'm leaving someone out), I would go with this list:
(1) The 80's belonged to Springsteen (The River, Nebraska, Tunnel of Love)
(2) Neil Young (Freedom)
(3) The Replacements (Tim, Let It Be)
(4) Pixies (Doolittle, Surfer Rosa)
(5) The Rolling Stones (Tattoo You)
(6) John Mellencamp (Scarecrow, Uh-Huh, The Lonesome Jubilee)
(7) Keith Richards (Talk Is Cheap)
(8) U-2 (Joshua Tree)
(9) Bob Dylan (Infidels, Oh Mercy)
(10) Tie Lou Reed (New York, Blue Mask), REM (Murmur, Document) Tom Petty (Full Moon Fever)
If the Clash's London Calling had been released in 1980 that album would have topped my list

I have a hard time remembering what year albums were released, and I can't stick to the "one album per artist" rule.
Most of my choices have been mentioned, except "If I Should Fall From Grace With God". That HAS to be in there. I would also include "Red Roses For Me", as well as the oft-mentioned "Rum Sodomy & the Lash".
Tom Waits: "Swordfishtrombone", "Rain Dogs" and "Frank's Wild Years". Those three are all one big brilliant album to me. Top of my list, probably.
Pixies. "Surfer Rosa" (the version that includes the "Come On Pilgrim" EP) and "Doolittle". Absolutely.
Dylan. "Oh Mercy" and "Infidels".
Costello - I never really liked the way "Get Happy" was produced. Too flat, and everything's too fast. I liked "Imperial Bedroom" and "Trust" a good bit. Best of the decade? I dunno.
"Tattoo You". Yeah.
"Pleased To Meet Me", the Replacements.
I liked "Lincoln" by TMBG too, but that's me. Was XTC's "Black Sea" in the 80s?
THRILLER? Uh, no.
Oh, Riffy, it's "hoist up the John B.'s sails" - see, the song is called "Sloop John B" - old traditional seafaring tune turned into the best Beach Boys song EVER. Yer a DJ, y'oughta KNOW this stuff. But it wasn't released in the 80s anyway. |

David Bowie's Scary Monsters is the only '80's album I really care for. |

Lots of good stuff there dan, half of it at least i'm proud to say I've owned since released. A few, I would never touch, like Def Leppard and Iron Maiden... A few others, like The Cure, I got tired of. I've heard disintegration is their best album. The last record of their's I owned was Head On The Door, which was pretty good.
Bleach, funny you put that and Mudhoney up, I was thinknig about how I missed them when I posted my list. Great records. Saw both these bands and soundgarden before they blew up. Well Mudhoney never really blew up... And they are my favorite of the three, probably b/c of that. |

Hi Sirmoonie! At that time I lived in Greensburg, PA (East of Pittsburgh) so it was Greensburg Central Catholic--not Danny Marino's Oakland Central near Pitt.
As I recall, you lived and went to school in Pittsburgh.
Good on ya!  |

I was ignorant to Prince in the 80's. He was on MTV, how was I to know they let talented people slip into the stupid world of pop and pop culture.
I'm glad I can admit it, I feel much better... |

Greatest single of the 80's (hands down) was the re-working of "Venus" by Bananarama. |

I THINK THAT DIRTY WORK NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED ON EVERY BEST ALBUM LIST FROM THE 80S. IT IS THE QUINESSENTIAL 80S ALBUM. ANYONE THAT DIDNT INCLUDE DIRTY WORK IN THEIR LIST IS A FRIGGIN FOOL AND A LESSER STONES FAN THAN EVEN BILL PERKS. |

Man, I hate to narrow my list to just 10...
So I am hereby eliminating all Stones and Bob Dylan...as they should just be assumed.
In no particular order, and subject to change as the whim strikes me....
Hoodoo Gurus-Stoneage Romeo
Pixies-Surfer Rosa
Pogues-If I Should Fall From Grace With God
'Mats-Tim
Camper Van Beethoven-Telephone Free Landslide Victory
Motorhead-Ace Of Spades
Neil Young-Freedom
Tom Waits-Rain Dogs
Jane's Addiction-Nothing Shocking
The Specials-The Specials
I hate leaving Prince's Black Album off. I also hate excluding Mudhoney's Superfuzz Big Muff, or Nine Inch Nails' Pretty Hate Machine. Or any of the other Replacements albums...or The Pixies Doolittle...or Rum Sodomy & The Lash...or XTC's Black Sea, and English Settlement. And The English Beat's first record....
Fuck me, I could name literally HUNDREDS of albums from the 80's that I consider to be essential listening. Narrowing it down to just 10 seems an to be a job of futility. I did it anyway...but damn, now all sorts of stuff is popping up in my head screaming to be included. |

#1 Talk Is Cheap ~ Keith Richards
with a bullet!!! nothing else close!
after that...
I liked GNRs Appetite, Tattoo You & Emotional Rescue, Replacements Tim, Let It Be & Dont Tell A Soul, Dylan's Oh Mercy, Georgia Satellites, Steve Earles Copperhead Road, AC/DC Back In Black.... not much else that comes to mind...
EXCEPT DIRTY WORK!!! |

Mudhoney has a new album out called "Under A Billion Suns"
Very interested in checking this one out. Kinda forgot about them though they were still putting out good stuff long after their time had passed. |
