If you think someone nominated an album that isn't worthy then we'll argue it out and decide whether or not it belongs there.

Some albums I wanted to put up for debate, I mean they're all up for debate but I was undecided on these.

EPMD "Unfinished Business"
Gorilla Biscuits "Start Today"
The Misfits "Walk Among Us"
The Smiths "Strangeways, Here We Come"
Slick Rick "The Great Adventures of Slick Rick"
Social Distortion "Mommy's Little Monster"

Also I'm not too familiar with some of these artists (The Fall, Jesus and Mary Chain, Bauhaus, New Order, etc) so I just took what, if I remember right, is generally considered their "masterpiece" so if you're more familiar with some artist and feel the album/albums I put weren't justified correct me on it. Also there's no limit to how many artists can be on one album. Also there's a huge lack of metal on this I know that's because I don't like metal. I know Maiden, Motorhead and all that released good albums in the 80s so if Selzter or jackhammer could take an interest here that'd be great.
