First time ever hahaha

My own favourite 80's albums would probably all be Jazz. No 1 being Jaco Pastorius: Word of Mouth, but nobody has heard of that :)

Never heard of it

I haven't mentioned The Smiths once in the thread apart from saying compilations shouldn't be included.
Sales should never be a guage as to determine quality otherwise the karaoke pop idol / X Factor winners will be in the top 50

Exactly MES. It's why most fucking idiots like the rags. No fucking brain cells.

Interesting and contentious list, and utterly bollocks. How can you compare the genres of Rock/metal with easy listening. It’s a bit of fun but I’ve been around for a bit and even I don’t know who the hell half these artists are. If Uncut did another poll from the 70s they would have the Wurzels in the top 10. And a good shout for Jason Donovan in the 90’s. Pure arse of a list.

They did do a 70s one a few months ago. I can confirm the Wurzels aren't in the top 500 !

Jaco Pastorius was born & bred Florida and is regarded as the best electric Bass player ever.

It would be a more interesting list if it was the top 10 or 25 etc. When it's a list of 500 then it becomes less interesting as it will just dredge albums up that aren't great.

It would be interesting to compare the quality from the 60s to the 2020s to see how it's changed over time.

A couple of the songs made it onto Now that's what I call Jazz 1. The whole album though was roundly shunned due to its lack of structure.

They never made another. Its not all that, Jazz tbh

Had a look at that list and once again it’s a head scratcher. Loads of little cult bands you’ve never heard of. I’m surprised the wurzels aren’t on the list, especially when you’ve got the likes of shite like Gong on it.
