Radio Two recently had an Eighties day with all programmes featuring eighties music. They had a vote for the greatest album of the decade and U2's Joshua Tree won. On Talkawhile people have been posting their top 20s and here's mine. I saw all of these in concert apart from Love and Rockets. That includes the Blues Brothers Band though sadly without Jake and Elwood.
Aztec Camera - High Land, Hard Rain
Big Country - Steeltown
Blues n Trouble - Blues n Trouble
Eric Clapton - Another Ticket
Guns N' Roses - Appetite For Destruction
Jane's Addiction - Nothing's Shocking
Lloyd Cole and the Commotions - Mainstream
Love and Rockets - Express
Martin Stephenson & The Daintees - Boat To Bolivia
Marillion - Misplaced Childhood
Motorhead - Another Perfect Day
Repo Man - soundtrack
Sky - 3
Ted Hawkins - Watch Your Step
The Blues Brothers - soundtrack
The Damned - Phantasmagoria
The Icicle Works - The Small Price of a Bicycle
The Stranglers - Feline
U2 - War
ZZ Top - Eliminator
As with these things you remember other albums after you've posted it. If it was a Top 30 I'd have probably added albums by Michelle Shocked, Throwing Muses, George Harrison, John Mellencamp, The Mission, Queen, Iggy Pop, Talking Heads, Dead Kennedys and Roy Harper & Jimmy Page.
