Nog geen gebrek aan verkoopcijfers, in de jaren '80.
Ik heb het gevoel dat het, dan toch in ieder geval voor mezelf, eigenlijk slechts om een relatief klein groepje aan artiesten draait. Al dan niet eerst in een band en daarna solo.

Ondanks onmiskenbare kwaliteiten, ben ik toch meer een liefhebber van de jaren '70, vooralsnog.

Voor mij is de jaren 70 absoluut mijn favoriete decennium, maar ik merk bij mijzelf toch wel een groeiende belangstelling voor wat in de jaren 80 is uitgebracht. Ik vond het altijd een erg mager decennium, maar met het klimmen der jaren kom ik daar toch wat op terug. Waarschijnlijk ook omdat ik nu meer albums ken uit de jaren 80. Maar ik denk dat ik de 80s sound niet altijd meer zo erg vind. Eigenlijk een prima decennium, hoewel het voor mij echt nooit kan tippen aan de magische jaren 70.

De 80s heeft het laagste gemiddelde qua cijfers en geen enkel 5* album. Alleen Marillion is een ontdekking geweest die iets uithaalt. Maar echte parels of bijzondere platen missen hier. Suggesties zijn daarom welkom.

Ik heb wel 30 suggesties

Ik zal met de eerste 10 beginnen

Onze lijsten getuigen wel van totaal verschillende voorkeuren. Heb de helft van jouw top-30 zelf in de kast staan maar mijn hart verlangt duidelijk geheel andere zaken dan het jouwe.
