My vote is for the 2010s. I know it might seem a little early given the decade will have just ended, but that's only the case for 2019, which would be featured in November 2020, 10 months after all the albums were released. I think that's probably enough time for the dust to settle.

I like the idea of doing year polls for the 2010s too. Maybe instead of doing final polls for the top 150 albums/songs, we could instead have full open polls so that everyone can rank their favourites for the decade after having spent 10 months exploring.

I haven't played this game ever...but with 1985, I think I should as the decade begins seriously.

If it is too late, no worries, I'll start with 1986

Here are my albums (no songs), in order of preference

Felt - Ignite the Seven Cannons (1985)
Kate Bush - Hounds of Love (1985)
Dexys Midnight Runners - Don't Stand Me Down (1985)
The Fall - This Nation's Saving Grace (1985)
The Sisters of Mercy - First and Last and Always (1985)
The Velvet Underground - VU (not sure if this is eligible ?)
The Jesus and Mary Chain - Psychocandy (1985)
The Cure - The Head on the Door (1985)
The Smiths - Meat Is Murder (1985)
Thin White Rope - Exploring the Axis (1985)
Guadalcanal Diary - Walking in the Shadow of the Big Man

Are you sure that it's 1985?

I know that RYM lists it as a 1985 single release.
But Discogs does not list it at all, while listing the first and second singles of the 'Legend' album ('Lancelot' and 'King Arthur') as 1986 releases.

A Valerie Dore website (possibly her own website?) lists it as a 1986 release (and I think a 1987 single):
http://www.valeriedore.it/ITALIANO/TEST ... 0arrow.htm

And presumably the whole album was recorded in the'85/'86 winter, which would make a 1985 release at least strange.

Great sleuthing! I've checked out that site before (even writing an email to an account that was listed there before), but never checked the Italian part. Greg, I think we need to save "Bow and Arrow" for 1986.
