1999
purple rain
sign of the times

mikek1 said:

SOTT is there.

Guess it was a "one album per artist" rule.

GangstaFam said:

Don't touch me.

mikek1 said:

The last one is on nr 12, Mr Wonder.

And I think they had a ONE ambum per artist clausule.

Joshua Tree at 1 !!! overproduced pretentious crap...the only good thing about it is the photo of their gay drummer on the cover

peppeken said:

Larry Mullen, Jr. is not gay!

But he looks like a clone of a fellow sayheyr who I guess is gay:

mikek1 said:

There probably in their top 100 albums of the 80s.

Two overrated albums on the top

GangstaFam said:

Typical list of this nature - some good, some bad...some what the fuck?

I only have 10 of them. I need to start filling gaps in my collection.

sextonseven said:

Lemme guess...Iron Maiden is first on your list.

GangstaFam said:

How'd you know?



That's only because it's at the top of the list.

sextonseven said:

I realized I have most of the Top 20, but barely any from the bottom 20. That's where I need to fill in gaps.

No Crowded House

GangstaFam said:

I just remembered, I have 'Remain In Light' on vinyl. Maybe I should actually listen to the whole thing one day. Nevertheless, I own it so it counts.

I used to own 'The Queen Is Dead' but either gave it away or sold it. That might have been a mistake methinks.

I also used to have 'Licensed to Ill' and 'Dare' on vinyl, but sold those on ebay. I need to get the 'Dare' remastered CD. 'Licensed To Ill' I can do without.

...




I'm glad this one made the list!! Love that album!

Don't like the Beasties or don't like that album?

GangstaFam said:

I don't like that album at all.

'Paul's Boutique' on the other hand is in my opinion one of the top five rap albums ever.
