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

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.

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
