AMF Top Albums of the 1980s
AMF Top Albums of the 1980s
At long (18 months long) last, I'm able to present the results of the 2019 poll for the Top Albums of the 1980s. I am deeply sorry for the delay. I don't want to get into details, in part because I am ashamed of not having been able to post this earlier, but I'm happy I'm in a place at the moment where I can finally post these!
The results won't be as extensive as what I had originally planned and will more or less mimic the style of the 1980s Song Poll rollout. I hope that's ok.
A total of 200 albums qualified for the final round. I will present the top 150, and then provide the entire list at the end.
A huge thank you to our 35 voters:
