This is a really terrific eighties chart. I love Doolittle, Skylarking, and Surfer Rosa, among a number of your other picks--these albums never become dated for me. Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables is a pretty great top ten pick, a punk album that is both funny and political. There's much on your chart that I haven't yet heard, so I look forward to digging in to those unfamiliar choices, starting with Brand New Age.
