Favorite 80s Albums

Appetite for Destruction- GnR (1987): Gritty and unglam. It was fresh and refreshing. The anti-Poison.


The Joshua Tree- U2 (1987): The anti-everything at the time.

Back in Black- AC/DC (1980): AC/DC doesn't need Bon Scott?

Born in the USA- Bruce Springsteen (1984): Who needs Michael Jackson or Prince?

Synchronicity- The Police (1983): Made them the biggest band in the world; then Copeland broke Sting's ribs.

Document- REM (1987): It's the end of the world...

Hysteria- Def Leppard (1987): Probably the most important album during my HS years. This was a greatest hits album.

Pyromania- Def Leppard (1983): Almost as good as Hysteria.

War- U2 (1983): U2 broke from New Wave here. The album has all time classics on it.

New Jersey- Bon Jovi (1988): I just like the album...better than Slippery When Wet.
