I am almost finished w/ my albums list - just need to go thru it one time to make sure i didn't forget anything. Not gonna do a songs list... would just be impossible for me.

I had a list i did for the 80's - 1 thru 100, but it was limited to one album per artists. so i sorta used that as a starting point, and have fleshed it out. now the trick is cutting it down to 200, heh

I just couldn't wrap my head around it and it seemed to similar to what I do at work for me to devote free time to it lol

And you well know that unless Moonbeam sits down with a pen & paper and goes through the process with me, I really don't even know where to begin when I get past the top 3. lol

I was wondering how you'd handle that one - it came out in the US in January 1980 and in the UK in December 1979. Let me know if it's good to include based on the US release, if not I'll remove it and add one more to the bottom.

I've told a few others to keep it for the 70s, and I know others likely view it as a 70s album, too. To give it a placement it deserves, I think it's only fair to keep it with the 70s.
