I'm in the US until Saturday so I don't have access to my collection, and thus can't compile a "proper" top 25. So here's just a rattled "off the top of my head" attempt:

Also wow, I just looked properly back at my list, and, much as it's probably expected on this board, serious pasty white guitars alert...

Most black musicians in "R&B" in the 80s made pasty white pop music, too.
Kool & the Gang sang "Joanna" Lionel Richie sang "Penny Lover" Philip Bailey broke from Earth Wind & Fire to duet w/ Phil Collins It was a real travesty, that decade. (by and large, anyway)

yeah, but on the other hand you could do a top 25 of 80s hiphop records and you'd have more than enough amazing records to choose from.
EDIT: too slow! |

It's a bit of a gray area I guess. panto said that EP's were fine, and it's two put together so haha. Otherwise I can just vote for the EP's separately.

If we're including EPs, then I'm going to add Metal Circus to my list.

I'm not saying anything bad about hip hop...I specifically singled out R&B....it died an ugly death in the 80s.

Yeah, you're probably right actually. I haven't read anyone elses responses though, so it was a blind guess.

It's interesting to see the differences between the lists of people who aren't old enough to remember the 80s and old fellas like me who most definitely are. I would always choose Kollaps by Einsturzende Neubauten (as opposed to the albums other people have listed), Rembrandt Pussyhorse (over Locust Abortion Technician or Hairway To Steven), Yo! Bum Rush The Show (over It Takes A Nation...), Cop (over Filth) and so on, because I remember these albums coming out. In each case these records were my first exposure to these bands and I clearly remember the impact each had on me. And I'm not saying that it means my selections are better. Even though they clearly are. |

I already predicted a SY clean sweep of the 80's top 5 in the 90's thread. Though I guess Isn't Anything might edge out either Confusion or Bad Moon. I'm looking forward to the 70's list, because at least that one won't be clogged up with SY albums... |
