Favorite Albums of the 80's - Pick the Best One.

hard to go past Talking Heads, but my sentimental favourites here are Wipers, Kate and Galaxie 500.

my teenage self would go for In the Flat Field, so be it.

Close call between Computer World and Secrets of the Beehive.

Very tough. Was a toss up between Talking Heads, Beastie Boys and Tom Waits but I went for the latter.

ook, this is hard. these are all my favorite:

Arthur Russell - World of Echo (1986)
Astor Piazzolla and The New Tango Quintet - Tango: Zero Hour (1986)
Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska (1982)
The Cramps - Songs the Lord Taught Us (1980)
Glenn Branca - The Ascension (1981)
The Gun Club - Fire of Love (1981)
Laurie Anderson - Big Science (1982)
Manuel Göttsching - E2-E4 (1984)
Minutemen - Double Nickels on the Dime (1984)
Paul Simon - Graceland (1990)
Pixies - Doolittle (1989)
Richard & Linda Thompson - Shoot Out the Lights (1982)
Talking Heads - Remain in Light (1980)
Tom Tom Club - Tom Tom Club (1981)
Tom Waits - Swordfishtrombones (1983)
Wipers - Youth of America (1981)
Young Marble Giants - Colossal Youth (1980)

fuck it, Wipers

absolutely youth of america defines the 80s for me. a dark decade.

Hounds of Love over Remain in Light and Paul's Boutique.

Computerwelt

Wipers is an excellent choice, top 10 in this list for me, glad it has fans on ILM. Where were you on the 80s albums poll!?

Deceit would be my pick. I was obsessed with that album.

<3 forever

Judging by your top picks you wont be dissapointed by any of these.

Between Deux Filles and Jesus and Mary Chain. Beat Happening is a sentimental favorite, but I find it hard to listen to these days.

Double Nickels

psychocandy, obv

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I own a bakers dozen of these, went with my gut: Ms. Kate.

Sylvian

Nebraska

I see 'Secrets of the Beehive' in there, so... not even gonna look at the rest of that list.

*VOTED*

voted Canti Illuminati, although I only first heard it when it was re-released 10 or so years ago

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

No votes for Gun Club! Stiff competition.
