Whoever doesn't choose AC/DC - Back In Black is incorrect.

Hells Bells?
Shoot to Thrill?
Back In Black?
Shook Me All Night Long?
Rock And Roll Ain't Noise Pollution?

Hey Zeus that's one hell of a record.  In any year, let alone 1980.

What?  No other votes for Turn of a Friendly Card?  I thought this would do better with all the prog heads on this board.

I feel APP blew the majority of their creative load on their first album.  There was some to go around on I-Robot, but that's it, AFAIC.

Baa.  I didn't like their first album with the whole Edgar Allan Poe thing.  Turn of a Friendly Card is awesome I liked Ammonia Avenue a lot as well.

I disagree.  Try Anything Once was a very good album.

Unfortunately, that seems to be the case, as it is the "wrong kind" of 80s reverb-y cheez-whiz for this forum. 

Ah, well.  I'll be blasting my copy of Closer, regardless.

You know I loved that 8 track.  I listened to it ALL the time.  But I wasn't sure a movie soundtrack would qualify.  Plus I don't think it would beat my top 5.
