Top 20 Music Albums of 1981 by mrmcrook

Fucking great year. Usually the last few albums in a year list are duds. Not this year. All top notch. Hard to put in a definitive order. Compilations, greatest hits etc ranked after studio albums. Only fair in a year list.

This is an massively under rated Split Enz album. I rate it on level par with True Colours. Great from start to finish. Even the unknown tracks you'd deem as filler, aren't. Fucking fantastic album. Love it. 06/24 [First added to this chart: 10/02/2020]

Rose Tattoo are sooo underrated and glad you have it ahead of For Those About To.... I actually like Flick of The Switch better than it.

Great call! High N' Dry is easily my fave too but man do I have a soft spot for Pyromania.
