With this category, I'm a little bias towards Prince cause after all this is a P org and I'm a huge P fan. He has 4 albums in my countdown starting with the #1 album to me is Sign 'O' The Times. Michael and Janet Jackson and Run-DMC are all tied with 2 albums apiece. Here's my list:

1. Sign 'O' The Times-Prince
2. Rhythm Nation 1814-Janet Jackson
3. It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back-Public Enemy
4. Purple Rain-Prince & The Revolution
5. Straight Outta Compton-N.W.A.
6. Thriller-Michael Jackson
7. Street Songs-Rick James
8. Raising Hell-Run-DMC
9. Control-Janet Jackson
10. Hotter Than July-Stevie Wonder
11. License To Ill-The Beastie Boys
12. Don't Be Cruel-Bobby Brown
13. Can't Slow Down-Lionel Richie
14. 1999-Prince
15. Guy-Guy
16. Bad-Michael Jackson
17. Ready For The World-Ready For The World
18. Invisible Touch-Genesis
19. What Time Is It?-The Time
20. Bigger And Deffer-LL Cool J
21. Dirty Mind-Prince
22. The Joshua Tree-U2
23. Whitney Houston-Whitney Houston
24. Escape-Whodini
25. Paid In Full-Eric B. & Rakim

P.S. By the way, the albums Off The Wall and Prince are not qualified for this topic because they wer released towards the end of '79 and ran into '80. Therefore qualifying them as 70 releases. Thank you.

I have (or once had) all of those. I agree with this list!
