I did the ready-fire-aim thing again.
Looking up 1980 specifically then it's either Emotional Rescue by the Stones or Remain in Light, Talking Heads. But then there's also London Calling, The Clash.
I'll go with Remain in Light.
Gaucho was another great album. As was the Pretenders. Boy was not my favourite U2 for some reason?Sara wrote: ↑Sat Jan 27, 2024 8:41 pm These ones have already been nominated previously:

As the Talking Heads has previously been nominated and the Clash was december 1979 it looks like you've nominated Emotional Rescue by the Rolling Stones if that's okmalcolmw wrote: ↑Sat Jan 27, 2024 6:02 pm Oh, sorry - I read it as 'best album of the 1980's"

Oh dear. I really am the only cadet out of step in this parade aren't I.
London Calling was very late 1979 in the UK. Released early 1980 in the US.malcolmw wrote: ↑Sat Jan 27, 2024 6:02 pm Oh, sorry - I read it as 'best album of the 1980's"

Absolutely, not sure how the 90’s and onward will do though
They are there in the 90's and 2000's but we're mostly of a certain age and most people get stuck in an era. I'm different in that I constantly need new music. 24 has started slowly though after one of the best years for new music in decades
