So what do you lot reckon to that?
For me there's a few there that are utter shite such as PSB, George Michael, INXS and some that should have just scraped a top 100 such as Dire Straits Brothers in arms (their worst album! love over gold should be there though), Duran Duran and Michael Jackson Thriller. Raintown should be higher up.
Where's Prefab Sprout though!?? All of their 80's albums should be there! The Dreaming was much better than Hounds of love 'n all! Where's Heaven 17? Thomas Dolby? Other than that not too bad a selection I guess. Glad to see Human league Dare up so high!
