UNCUT: The 500 Greatest Albums of The 1980's ...ranked!

So here's one more list of the kind I often publish here. As I've previously said, I collect these special editions featuring Best-of lists. Uncut Magazine has exploited this weakness of mine, by following their Ultimate Record Collection series with The 500 Greatest Albums of the Decade series… The difference being: A) Ultimate Record Collection of the 80's had space for (exactly) 665 albums and B) This time, the albums are ranked. Always a risky thing to do, as people have strong opinions about their favorites: for example, some (like, everyone) would rate Tom Waits above Lloyd Cole. Also, the 80's were the golden age of Heavy Metal but you wouldn't know it by reading this list: I have to scroll down to No.58 to find Back In Black, and then to No.147 for the second HM album, Metallica's Ride The Lightning. Where are all the hair metal bands? Where are The Scorpions, Whitesnake, Bon Jovi? Come on, you found room for the complete discography of Felt, whom no-one except for 50 British music critics has ever heard of, but not Bon Jovi, who have sold over 130 million records worldwide? Anyway, ranking problems and notable absences aside, the variety and quality of the albums on this list proves that the 80's were not the arid musical desert it was later made out to be; for every soulless pop ditty in the hit parade, there are countless alternative gems to be discovered. Some of them are on this list; if any of them has already been presented in this blog you will find a link that will take you to the relative post.
