Favorite Album of The 80s
 

Mine is probably Kill em All- Metallica. THRASH METAL TO ITS FINEST

Too many to name really so I will just say Tom Waits Rain Dogs/Pixies Doolittle. These also happen to be 2 of my all time favorites.

Hysteria-Def Leppard

LOVED this album.

Always loved this album, in a fun way. I would never argue that this band is original or groundbreaking. But it is 80's, and it make me wanna rock out.

Daydream Nation-Sonic Youth.

As of now, I'd say it's:

out of my collection, Appetite for Destruction

Well I'd say it's Meat is Murder by the Smiths. While their first album seemed more dependent on lyrics and chiming guitar riffs, their second album and first #1 in the UK is more dependant on Morrissey's voice and the band musically, with Andy's funk like bass on Barbarism Begins at Home and the sonic beauty of How Soon Is Now with Johnny Marr's wailing guitar cries matching Morrissey singing "I am Human and I need to be loved just like everybody else does!". Lyrically the album is great as one would come to expect from anyone who had heard the Smiths first album and though not as rich in poetic details it does a very good job, from the first lines on The Headmaster Ritual "Belligerent ghouls run Manchester schools, spineless swines cemented minds" to the last line of the title track that questions the morality of killing and eating an animal "who hears when animals cry?"
