Top Ten Best Albums of 1980

The Top Ten
1 Queen - The Game

"Another One Bites the Dust" followed by "Need Your Loving Tonight" followed by "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" may be the best lineup of songs on an album period.

Why does this album have 27% of the votes I mean yes it's a good album but nothing beats Back in Black

This album is the definition of Queen

2 AC/DC - Back In Black

it contains some of the best hard rock songs like hells bells, back in black, you shook me all night long... etc. Also it is the second most selling album ever.

back in black is the fourth most sold album in the u. s, so I think this is the best

The second best of the year, just behind Rush's Permanent Waves

3 ABBA - Super Trouper

Super Trouper is the seventh studio album by the Swedish pop group ABBA. With singles like "The Winner Takes It All" and "Super Trouper" becoming #1 hits in several countries worldwide, the Album made it to #1 in several coutries also.

The winner takes it all, Our last summer, Lay all your love on me, On and on and on, The piper.

Awesome Songs!

The ultimate hardcore punk album. Brilliant sarcasm perfectly expressing the punk feeling. "I Kill Children" is just a real punk banger, "Holiday In Cambodia" is one of the best punk songs of all time, "When Ya Get Drafted" is a great anti-war song, "Let's Lnch The Landlord" is one of the many raging, relatable songs on the album, along with maybe less relatable but still raging "Chemical Warfare" or "Stealing People's Mail".
And also, the band is super talented for a hardcore punk band. East Bay Ray delivers the perfect guitar works, while Klaus' bass really holds the song and Biafra's vocals are just... Super cool.
Oh yeah and "Viva Las Vegas" is in my opinion among the greatest and most creative cover songs of all time, up there with Hurt and All Along The Watchtower.
This album is perfectly expressive.
