Bastard #1's Top 80 Of The 80's

Here it is - the list of the Top 80 albums of the 80's! Being that #1 has every Top 40 song from the 80's and is working on every top 100 song, he feels like he is an "expert" in the field of 80's music. He has close to 2000 albums from the 80's. That a shitload of bad music. But he's taken the best of the best and compiled a top 80 list.

You may not agree with this list - but you are wrong. If you want to think #1 has sold out because he has Thriller in this list, then do so; but there's a reason some of these records have sold 20 million copies!  You'll find your lesser known stuff in here as well.

Bastard #1 would love to hear your comments on his list or albums that you might suggest he listen to again because they totally rock and should be here.
