Black Rose Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 After a month's break after the 1970's poll, I am pleased to announce the return of the Battle of the albums poll, this time moving on a decade to the 1980s. Make and Post a list of up-to 20 albums you think were the best albums released in the 1980s :) Points: 1 - 50 2 - 40 3 - 38 4 - 36 5 - 34 6 - 32 7 - 30 8 - 28 9 - 26 10 - 24 11 - 22 12 - 20 13 - 18 14 - 16 15 - 14 16 - 12 17 - 10 18 - 8 19 - 6 20 - 4 The deadline for entries is 23:59 BST on the 9th October, giving you just under 4 weeks to put your thinking caps on :) Any questions feel free to ask and either me or Bea will answer you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
