Het duurde even, maar hier is ie, de album knock-out van 1980 . Het jaar dat John Lennon en Ian Curtis overleden (beide zijn terug te vinden in deze knock-out). Kijkend naar onze top 250 zijn Closer, Remain in Light, Back in Black en Seventeen Seconds grote kanshebbers. Ook was het 't jaar van de eerste Iron Maiden, het eerste Black Sabbath album met Dio en de debuutalbums van The Sound en The Feelies. Ik ben benieuwd!

Hier klopt iets niet:

49. Mo - Mo vs. Urbanus - Is Er Toevallig een Urbanus in de Zaal?
50. The Specials - More Specials vs. Urbanus - Is Er Toevallig een Urbanus in de Zaal?

De telling bij de eerste battle klopt ook niet helemaal. De stem van music48 telde blijkbaar voor 2...

Hmm, dat gevoel had ik al dat er iets mis was gegaan, bedankt dat je 'm hebt gevonden. Ik ga even kijken welk album ontbreekt.
