I must admit, it shaped my 80's, such a new sound, bloody awesome to this day, although i was very influenced by The Cult - Love, Tears for Fears - Songs from the Big Chair, Big Country - In a Big Country or i could really soy a lot more as i reminiss.

My cousin who is from Finchley and has been managing bands all his life. Landed over to my remote neck of the woods with his mum in 1981 as a 16 year old and told me that my fellow country men were going to be one of the biggest rock bands in the world. 40 years later, can't argue with his judgement. Still think 'War' superior to 'Joshua Tree'

Not for me. Might be for you though.
Fck knows what is. Ranking music seems a ridiculously futile and subjective endeavour.
Definitely this.
What were the criteria? Who decided? Was it limited to GB and Ireland acts?
These things predictably usually come up with some variation of guitar based rock and nearly everyone (with a couple of exceptions) have gone the same way on this thread.
So for a contrary view I offer 1988’s ‘It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back’ — Public Enemy.

American acts as well.Michael Jackson was in there with two albums. The public must have forgiven him for his misdemeanours(Alledged).
