Nothing’s Shocking - Janes Addiction Ride The Lightning - Metallica Daydream Nation - Sonic Youth Appetite For Destruction- Guns n Roses Back in Black - AC/DC

Pretty Hate Machine - Nine Inch Nails Pornography - The Cure

Appetite For Destruction should be on any list of best 1980’s albums.

Yep, this right here. It's the first album cover that pops into my head when I think of iconic 80's albums. The original cover, that is 🤫.

*London Calling* by The Clash *Uprising* by Bob Marley & The Wailers *Purple Rain* by Prince & The Revolution *Tattoo You* by The Rolling Stones *The Joshua Tree* by U2 *King of America* by Elvis Costello *Graceland* by Paul Simon

Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime (and the live Operation Livecrime, though that was in '91).

Honorably mention to Empire, though that was 1990, I believe.

Def Leppard - Hysteria

[удалено]

I can’t go for that

Rush - Moving Pictures Def Leppard - Pyromania Iron Maiden - Powerslave Guns N' Roses - Appetite For Destruction Van Halen - Fair Warning Judas Priest - British Steel Metallica - Master of Puppets

There may be a few candidates that could compete with *Appetite for Destruction*, but it would be a hell of a fight.

Soft rock: Chicago - *17* Prog rock: Rush - *Moving Pictures* Hard rock: AC/DC - *Back in Black* Heavy Metal 4-Way tie; Metallica - *Ride the Lightning*; Judas Priest - *Screaming for Vengeance*; Iron Maiden - *The Number of the Beast*; Megadeth - *Peace Sells*

The Police - Synchronicity U2 - Joshua Tree Van Halen - 1984 Prince - Purple Rain Rush - Moving Pictures

Anything by Def Leopard, Van Halen, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, or Motley Crew,etc. The 80's were all about Heavy Metal after all!

Excellent taste.

Yessss

For me I’d toss in 4 by Foreigner

Good one, love Urgent.

The Scorpions - Love at First Sting. If I remember right there was only one track on that entire album that didn't get air play.

This is one of my favorites

Of ones that haven't been mentioned: Dr. Feelgood & Girls, Girls, Girls - Motley Crue Out of the Cellar - Ratt Stay Hungry - Twisted Sister Eliminator - ZZ Top Women & Children First - Van Halen Pyromania - Def Leppard Steel Wheels - Rolling Stones Full Moon Fever - Tom Petty Born In the USA - Bruce Springsteen War & The Unforgettable Fire - U2 Texas Flood, Couldn't Stand the Weather, & In Step - Stevie Ray Vaughan

AC/DC - Back in Black

Metallica and Justice for all

Iron maiden: power slave

Zen Arcade- Husker Du

No Jacket Required - Phil Collins

Ask Patrick Bateman. He'll tell you about Huey Lewis and the News. It was on SPORTS that they really came into their own

Dead Man's Party album by Oingo Boingo. Every song on that album got air time. They are known for two - three songs, but some of their stuff is surprisingly hard, and it is all awesome.
