Album of the Year 1980 - nomination phase
« on: July 14, 2011, 11:09:11 PM »
80s time, baby!!!!!!!!!!! :hat :hat :hat

Rules:
-Post your 5 favorite albums from 1980; the order does not matter.  If you only like less than 5, list those.  Just no more than 5.
-List the band name first and then the album name.  Like this: Band name - Album name
-If you change your mind, edit your original post.  Do not post them again. 
-Only studio and live albums will be counted; no best of, compilations, etc.
-Posts that you do not follow these rules will not be counted.

Nomination phase will last two days.

It won't win this year, but I'd like to at least see it get to the second round.  However, with this being such a strong year, it is gonna have a tough time.  Doing a quick scroll, you and I are the only ones to have nominated it thus far. :(

Probably my favourite KISS album and that is my favourite Gene song. As a kid I was hooked when I heard Unmasked. Don't expect anyone else to vote for it here though!

At the time we were all turned off because it was disco Kiss to us but it's got better with time.  I would say it's a good album but I still play it.
