Re: Best album of the 80s- Nominations
Since we're 10 days away from a victor in the current elimination, figured we'd get the nomination process underway for what will be the last decade elimination. This one should be pretty interesting as there were a lot of huge albums that decade, but more dominated by pop than metal and grunge. We also have a young demographic here, which could influence this much differently than if it was just us old folks participating.

Totally forgot about these, and will certainly add them to my list.
Listening to Billy Joel at the moment trying to decide if one of his 80s records deserves a spot on my list.
