OK, here's my list of 80's albums....
Joshua Tree - U2
Steeltown - Big Country
Born In The USA - Springsteen
Centerfield - John Fogerty
London Calling - The Clash (bit of a cheat there, it was actually released in Dec '79, but I only bought it in Jan '80 - and since the singles lifted from it were all hits in the 80's, I think it qualifies - especially as 99% of its chart life was in the 80's....
:D :D :D

And as for 90's albums - so far I've been racking my brains and managed to come up with......
What's The Story (Morning Glory) - Oasis
Bridges to Babylon - Stones (You'll Never Make A Saint Of Me is CLASSIC Stones - a throwback to the glory days between '68 and '74....
Don't Stop - Status Quo - an album of covers, but take a look at the track listing.....
Fun, Fun, Fun (Brian Wilson/Mike Love) - performed with The Beach Boys
When You Walk in the Room (Del Shannon)
I Can Hear the Grass Grow (Roy Wood)
You Never Can Tell (It Was A Teenage Wedding) (Chuck Berry)
Get Back (John Lennon/Paul McCartney)
The Safety Dance (Doroschuk)
Raining in My Heart (Felice and Boudleaux Bryant)
Don't Stop (McVie)
Sorrow (Feldman/Goldstein/Gottehrer)
Proud Mary (John Fogerty)
Lucille (Albert Collins/Little Richard)
Johnny and Mary (Palmer)
Get Out Of Denver (Seger)
The Future's So Bright (I Gotta Wear Shades) (MacDonald)
All Around My Hat (Traditional)
That's all I got so far. As for the 00's - all I've got so far is John Fogerty's "Deja Vu All Over Again" and Status Quo's "The Party Ain't Over Yet" - well they're the only ones I've been out and bought. Oh - just remembered - George Harrison's "Brainwashed" album - I bought that too, but I'm damned if I can remember who I lent it to........
:D :D :D

Vic, that's interesting you chose the Stones' Bridges CD. I totally agree with you. What a great album.
Taso, I gotta agree with your liking for Billy Joel. Got the 2000 Concert 2 CD set? What a performance....
OK, so top 5 seemed easy when I read this yesterday. I like how Vic broke it up into decades. But, I'll stick to the original format.
Exile on Main Street - Stones
Darkness On The Edge Of Town - Springsteen (Am I the only one who liked that album?
Bat Out Of Hell - Meat Loaf
The Wall - Pink Floyd (hated that album for almost 20 years. Love it now. Odd)
Get Your Wings - Aerosmith
I reserve the right to change to a different 5 tomorrow. It is totally mood dependant.

90s? did someone say 90s?
How about Radiohead?
Red Hot Chili Peppers?

Roy, I almost picked the "Bat out of Hell" album 8) That was a masterpiece :D

Yeah, simply awesome. Also the first time I heard Beethoven's Ninth, which I'm now a huge fan of. But yeah, great concert.

There's nothing like rolling down the road doing a few clicks over the speed limit on a Harley while listening to the title song. My bike is silver & black to boot. 8)

Darkness On The Edge Of Town - Springsteen (Am I the only one who liked that album?)
nope, I loved it too. With all the legal hassles Springsteen went through in the mid 70's, it took him four years to follow up Born To Run - but it was worth the wait. I also loved "The River" album, even though it got panned by the critics.
Hey Roy, make sure you don't end up torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike!
:D :D :D

Billy Joel - The Stranger
Billy Joel - Glass Houses
Billy Joel - River of Dreams

...(I know what you are thinking; Taso, why are you playing guitar? I do not know.)
The Very Best of Cream I think makes number 6...I don't want to bend the rules too far, so I WON'T tell you guys that My Generation: The Very Best of the Who makes number 7.
Thats funny, Ruhal is a big Billie Joe fan and Taso Loves Billy Joel. both posted Billy or Billie for all 5 choices :? Hmmmm..... must be some cosmic relation here :lol:
Another funny and rather strange thing is that you always write my name as 'Ruhal' instead of 'Rahul' which is the correct spelling. Cmon Dog, its just 5 letters of simple english... :o
:oops:
