1) Hounds of Love
2) Purple Rain
3) Disintegration
4) Dare
5) The Queen is Dead

True Blue is probably my least favourite of Madonna's four 80s albums, dunno why they've picked that :shrug:

Talking Heads - Remain in Light being overlooked in favour of tripe from Duran Duran, Soft Cell and ABC is criminal. As is R.E.M.'s Murmur and Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation.

who cares about these nobodies :joker:

[Kate!]

Bon Jovi and Kylie

Bon Jovi and Kylie

Bon Jovi and Kylie

not even Bon Jovi's best music :laugh:

i really am liking their acoustic versions, and what do u got? and now their first 4 songs from Bon Jovi: 2020 a lot more

[Daniel.]

Hounds of Love is a perfect album, one of my two all time favourites

[Nicky91]

oh wait i luv that A-Ha album


Morten Harket a gem of a voice and lovely personality he got :flutter: also lovely daughter of his Tomine, where he these days writes music for :love:

[Crimson Dynamo]

Hounds of LOve and Dare are right up there

but if I think about UK musical impact and cultural impact i probably would say

Welcome to the Pleasuredome was the biggest

[Crimson Dynamo]

and may win

[Shaun]

does anyone remember more than 3 songs off of it? I don't think it had any massive impact, certainly nowhere near as big as Thriller/Purple Rain/Born in the USA

[Beso]

U2.

Why are the rest there?
