Is there a similar chart like this, except for the 80's? Already looked at the wiki and there's no 80's chart which is a shame

No but we can MAKE one.

I shall offer my services.

Yeah this is a good idea. We should get the obvious artists out of the way, like Depeche Mode, Pixies, The Smiths, Sonic Youth, and the Cure.

sweet lets make one

i'm game

Sorry it's a slightly different format (regular topsters can only go up to 144.

Each row is a year.

This is what we got so far.

make sure to include this. Its straight fire.

so now we fight over which Smiths, SY, and Cure album get on right
I say Queen is Dead, Daydream, and Pornography

All the smith records obviously, skylarking by xtc, speaking in tongues and remain in light are my favourites

...

Replace Pornography with Disintegration and we're in agreement.

I think we should keep it 1 album per artists to give the widest amount of music possible.

...

Fushitsusha - 1st for 1989, definitely an essential

We're not doing repeats (since the 70s one doesn't) but I'll add the others.

The entire smiths discography should be spread around the years

I concur.

...

Purple Rain should be on there.

stone roses and joshua tree should probably be on their although I think they are over rated

Oh No it's Devo
Spirit of Eden
Parallel Lines
Peter Gabriel Melt

Update.

We're. Not. Doing. Repeat. Artists.

ok

I like this organization method
If someone has a lot of time, they should clean up the 70's chart so it's not a disorganized mess

wew lad

...

nope

Eric B. & Rakim - Paid in Full (1987)

I can later but we'd have to decide what to cut.

The The - Soul Mining (83)
Chameleons - Script of the Bridge (83)
Scraping Foetus Off the Wheel - Nail (85)

Dio - Holy Diver (1983)
We wouldn't be the same without holy diver

Am I the only one who thinks charts like these are stupid?

It's fine to give recommendations, but these are just random suggestions from Anons who happen to be in this thread at this time, and then there's the OP who may or may not include or ignore albums based on personal tastes. And then this gets sorted into the wiki and treated like an authoritative judgement.

Yeah, we'd be better off without it.

It is an essential 80's album though, unfortunately.

Did anyone ask your fucking opinion?

>am i the only one
stopped reading there

now if we were were REALLY dedicated we would put genre labels on each album which would actually help a ton

if your childhood wasnt filled with holy diver then you don't know how to enjoy rock

I literally have no bias towards any of these.

I skipped ONE because I couldn't find it on topsters.

Can we replace the queen is dead with hatful of hollow

the only guy i've seen ignore albums based on personal taste is herbieanon
fortunately he's literally the only one that uses his charts, so it cancels out.

I'm taking a short break but I WILL be returning to this. Keep the thread alive, guys. Here's the most recent update til I get back.

Not sure. Pretty sure people prefer the Queen is Dead.

I did ones for hip hop, thought about doing ones for either Jazz or R&B

>the only guy i've seen ignore albums based on personal taste is herbieanon

A: No I don't.
B: I'm the one making them, jackass.

Ok buddy.

you've misspelled "essential" m8

a.) didn't you have some autistic meltdown about tupac in the 90s hip hop chart.
b.) why the hostility

A: "autistic meltdown" is a giant stretch. I ended up including him anyway.
B: you're the one that shit talked first.

love you herb

Thank you my man.

>I did ones for hip hop, thought about doing ones for either Jazz or R&B
no I mean like for an example have
>Remain in Light
>new wave/post-punk

it would help people garner interest towards albums they haven't heard before

Let's Dance definitely has to be on the list
New Order stuff too
