#5albums70sfinal
In one sense, I've found this one of the easiest polls yet. There are four albums (big pics) I just couldn't do without!
Only decision to make is what gets 5th place? These are the contenders, heavily weighted towards the latter half of the decade.
It's going to be hard, but fun

What’s another 4 great 10/10 no skip album from the EIGHTIES?

Great gig last night in The Academy Dublin, they were on top form, Alex voice just keeps getting better!

Amazing gig last night, they were on fire🔥 and absolutely loving it!
