Great site! That site is SUPER useful for all the dumb-asses out there who say that all 80s music was crap. I always hear "Oh, the 80s that was all the pointer sisters crap, etc." which couldn't be further from the truth- you just had to be listening to alternative stations and making an effort to find the good stuff. There are so many good years there. 85 was excellent, as was 83. Toward the end of the decade, it gets pretty slack.

Now, 90s music is not aging quite as well, is it? There's some classics in there, but I predict so much more of it will be forgotten.

1983: Top REM album- Murmur
1995: Top REM album - New adventures in hi-fi (?!)

If that makes the top 100 of your year, your year is in trouble.

Two of the top ten of 1997 are Bill Hicks albums! No disrespect to the genius of Hicks, but I'm pretty sure it's not music.
