Which is kind of cool or lame depending on how you look at it I think we should stick with initial release dates. Oh and I'm adding Sandinista too.

I think you must have "London Calling" to only exist in a decade for one month hardly counts. I think it should be top 10 in the 70's and 80's it is just that good and its influence was widespread. Everyone from smiths fans to iron maiden fans could see its value.

I think if you have John Zorn (whom I love) you also need
Joe Satriani "Surfin with the Alien"
Steve vai "Flex-Able"

I'd add
King Krimson "Three of a Perfect Pair"
Frank Zappa "Them or Us" though "man form utopia" or "you are what you is" would be fine.

I'm not sure which are the right albums to add but Spandau Ballet and Simply Red are missing.

Probably you should also add:

Maddona "Like a Virgin"
Cindi Lauper (sp?) "She's so unsual" my god "time after time was covered by miles davis.

Oh yeah probalby

Miles Davis "Tutu"

So to some up:

Frank Zappa "Them or Us"
King Krimson "Three of a Perfect Pair"
Joe Satriani "Surfin with the Alien"
Steve vai "Flex-Able"
Maddona "Like a Virgin"
Cindi Lauper (sp?) "She's so unusual"
Miles Davis "Tutu"
THE CLASH LONDON CALLING

Thats one of the worst albums ever made , there are much more worthy albums than this bunch of tuneless noodling.

Hmm. perhaps a bit harsh. Hey steve vai has made worse ones LOL.

The influence of "The Attitude Song" on the shred scene that started in California is undeniable. There is some filler on this one for sure but I remember "Call it Sleep" also has a nice melody.
More good tunes than on most John Zorn (whom I love) records too!

Perhaps neither belong on the list.

Gotta have:

Michael Jackson "Thriller" (can't believe this one was missed)
Queen "The Works" remember live aid?
Queen "The Game"

If it didn't initially come out in the 80s it's not going on. Does anyone think we're ready to start debating the removal of times and deciding on the order?

Oh and updated.

Sebadoh "The Freed Man"
Dexy's Midnight Runners "Searching for the Young Soul Rebels"
The Soft Boys "Underwater Moonlight"
The Feelies "Crazy Rhythms"
Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band "Doc at the Radar Station"
Public Image "Flowers of Romance
Bruce Springsteen "Nebraska" & "Born in the U.S.A."

Just to throw a few more out there

I thought that they balance each other. You know like opposites.
I'm still not sure if any of those belong in a top 100 list though. Although all three would be on mine.

How about Peter Gabriel

Peter Gabriel "3" the one with the melting face
Peter Gabriel "Security"
Peter Gabriel "So"

These ones are huge!!
