Uncut magazine - Top 500 albums of the 80's

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Remain in Light the only one of these that would probably make my top ten of the 80s. That said, in the next 10, REM and Public Enemy probably would, and Stone Roses and Sonic Youth would have a chance.

That Eno/Byrne one at #25 -- I mean, I like them both, I liked "Wall Street", and the record is interesting . . . but #25? No way.

 

[BimboBob]

Talk Talk is the only one I'd have in that top ten.

 

[Ste1969]

New gold dream - Simple Minds should have been in that list.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Graceland by Paul Simon, off the top of my head.

Always preferred Sparkle In The Rain myself.

An even bigger disgrace is Upstairs at Erics by Yazoo being 483. Not only has it got a clutch of absolute classic pop songs on it. But is has been far more influential than most of the albums on that list.

Was listening to it yesterday!

Alison Moyet has a voice that has stood the test of time, singing songs that have become anthems of their era. Even my mid 20s kids are getting into the 80s music given the paucity of any decent music today!

Kate Bush best album of the 80s...?

Uncut's list is a crock of shite. Close this thread.

Laughable list.
Police, Dire Straits sold bucketloads, Sade, INXS, Bob Marley, all made better albums and huge sellers than that laughable top 10.

Graceland by Paul Simon, off the top of my head.

Brilliant album.

Moyet is criminally underated by know nowt music journos or whatever pillocks came up with this list

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Stock, Aitkin & Waterman shifted bucketloads too....
