You’re Living All Over Me is a great record, but as a noise rock fan I feel like both YLAOM and Daydream Nation serve different purposes. YLAOM feels like amazing noise rock perfectly cut out into pop tracks, with great hooks and energy. Daydream Nation, however, feels like a trickling, slow descent into a noise-abyss, songs moving to the fringes of sound and creating atmospheres which can’t be found on any other records from the 80s. Truly a standout record and highlights the capabilities of recording and pushed the limits for noise rock and alt. rock as a whole

@@michaelsevilla3697I think it’s also to do with the backlash and critiques from the media post Thriller hype. Also with the fact he wanted Bad to be an even bigger album than Thriller could of influenced the long gap between albums. I just wish he released more albums in general but like you said he was too much of a perfectionist.

I think Violent Femmes self titled and especially The Replacements: Let it Be should be in an 80's top ten. On a personal note, X: Wild Gift is a ten. I feel like people forget that Dead Kennedys:Fresh Fruit is an 80's album, definitely in with a shout of top 10. Also, Brian Eno: Ambient 4, probably my favourite Eno ambient project, and another 10 for me.

The 80s were so good. Even the bands and artists who were considered “bad” like Chicago had their fair share of bangers. I’ll belt out “YOURE THE MEANING IN MY LIFE, YOURE THE INSPIRATION” every time it comes on. Even the bad stuff was still pretty decent. I’ll take the worst 80s pop song over anything from the lazy sample trend pop and rap music is going through right now.

I hate to push the comments # over 666! Favoring Goo over Daydream Nation is absurd, when tracks 4-10 are at best spotty ("Cinderella's Big Score"), jokey throwaways ("My Friend Goo"), filler (most of it) or completely embarrassing ("Kool Thing"). That leaves four good tracks, none of which surpass the best of Daydream. That album disappointed me the day it came out and hasn't stopped since. I'll take Dirty or Washing Machine over Goo.

I couldn’t agree more about It Takes A Nation Of Millions. Absolutely fantastic hip hop record. Top five for me. It hits just as hard today as it did back then, both in terms of production and social commentary. Chuck D was absolutely ferocious on this record. I also absolutely agree about Daydream Nation. I would actually be a little harsher. I like certain tracks on it like the title track and The Sprawl. But I honestly find a majority of the album to be a slog to get through. They did way more interesting and punchy work in the 90’s.
