TUESDAY 10: The Top Ten Albums Of The Eighties - HERC Polls His Friends Edition


Over the past two months HERC has been harassing pestering asking his friends, his fellow bloggers, professional critics and record label executives with a simple question: 

What are your ten favorite Eighties albums?
Twenty-four people responded.  Exactly 100 different albums were picked.  These are the Top 10 vote-getters, presented - you guessed it - countdown style from 10 to 1.

Number Ten
1987

Number Nine

 1980

Number Eight

 1980

Number Seven

 1980

Number Six

 1987

 Number Five

 1988

Number Four

 1986

Number Three

 1984

 Number Two

 1982

 Number One

 1987


The vote was extremely close with one vote separating each of the top three albums.  It is important to note that all respondents were born before 1980 but not so important to note that they were mostly male.  For the record, this was HERC's Top 10 ballot:
