@Raw - Not to be too pedantic but "The Wall" was released in 1979.

10 of my favorites in no particular order:

R.E.M. - Lifes Rich Pageant (I really could have stacked the list with any/all of the 6 albums they released in the 80's)

Bruce Springsteen - Born in the USA

Prince - Purple Rain

U2 - War (same thing as R.E.M., I could have posted any/all of the 6 albums from the 80's)

Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska (wore this one out)

Def Leppard - High 'n' Dry ( Pyromania was the next album but I love, love H&D)

AC/DC - Back in Black

The Replacements - Tim

Pixies - Doolittle

Guns n' Roses - Appetite for Destruction

this was a hard list to just post 10 . . .so many good albums left out

I prefer a lot of the albums from Mr. K. Tel over what Var has put out over the years, especially in the 70's and 80's smile

Lol. I fondly remember those K Tel collection commercials from the late 70's and 80's.

If you watched MTV in the mid 80's when it was still good, this commercial is probably still stuck in your brain.

How can you guys remember what albums you bought back in the 80's? I can't think of any which leads me to believe that a) I didn't buy any or b) I just can't remember.

*edit* I just ran through a list of best 80's albums and I didn't buy any of them so I guess that just wasn't an interesting period for me musically.

Or it can also be albums that you bought at any time but were released in the 80's. I was thinking more along those lines.

From the 90's (when Seattle killed rock) until now I've hardly bought anything. Even then it's now individual songs. From the 60's, 70's and 80's. LOL
Back then I spent my hard earned money on four things:
#1: my car
#2: my car
#3: tapes (now all long since dead from heat and age)
#4: girlfriend (probably didn't age well themselves either)

In that order.
