Geez, I'm getting senile. I gotta add:

The New Christs - Distemper. Along with the Sunnyboys debut, one the best straight out high energy records ever.

 

[Stealth bomber]

Rush - Signals
Rush - Moving Pictures
Rush - Permanent Waves
Alan Parsons Project - Eye in the Sky
The Police - Zendyatta Mondatta
The Police - Ghost in the Machine
Missing Persons - Spring Session M
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Mothers Milk

I really don't own many 80s albums at all. A lot of my favourite 80s songs are from one-hit wonders.

 

[SydneyBomber]

(no order)

'Reign in Blood' - Slayer
'Master of Puppets' - Metallica
'Walk Among Us' - Misfits
'Fresh fruit for rotting vegetables' - Dead Kennedys
'Punishment for Decadence' - Coroner
'Extreme Aggression' - Kreator
'Pretty Hate Machine' - Nine Inch Nails

ok that's seven. too hard to split. too easy to just keep going too.

there really was a lot of sht released in the 80's, but damn there were some classic albums too.

I can't understand why people rate Disintegration so highly.

I just found that album very dull.

To my mind, the Cure lost it after "Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me".

I guess it'd annoy the Hell outta Miller so there's that at least.
