The Ultimate Record Collection - The 1980's

A few personal observations.. Known in some quarters as the dacade that taste forgot.

As with all the other decades in this series of lists, there are many surprise inclusions as well as glaring omissions. As there does not seem to be the constraint of keeping the list to an exact number, I find it strange that for example, only two albums for The The, but the whole David Bowie ’80’s output is included. Plus only one album for Kirsty MacCall. And why omit My Nation Underground from Julian Cope’s catalogue when U2’s weakest album, Rattle & Hum is included? And Why is the Grace Jones Album, Slave To The Rythm, which is a re-mix album, included at the expence of the superior Living My Life? Oh, and no China Crisis, Aswad, Black Uhuru, Gil Scott-Heron or Frank Zappa at the expence of some seriously dodgy mid 80's Bob Dylan albums. There are many of these occurrences and I could go on, but it's not my list, so don’t email me.

As with the ‘Ultimate’, ‘60’s’ & 70's lists, this list is compiled slightly differently from the published edition. As I compile the lists in Excel, it is alpha numeric configured so example “The Police” appear under ‘T’ rather than “P”.
