Top Ten Best Albums of 1987

The Top Ten
1 Michael Jackson - Bad

As usual, I've been scanning this top ten list and I find myself having a hard time finding a list with Michael Jackson not at number 1, unless it is a list that's not related to him or is negative. Indeed, no one can surpass the man, Michael. The "Bad" album got 5 songs which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. First is "I Just Can't Stop Loving You", next "Bad", followed by "The Way You Make Me Feel", then "Man in the Mirror" and lastly "Dirty Diana".

This is the first in history and was inducted into the Guinness World Records. Actually, the "Bad" album is not just the best for the year 1987 but also considered one of the greatest albums of all time. All hail to the King of Music.

2 Guns N' Roses - Appetite for Destruction

Without this album, other material of hair metal may not be taken seriously. According to this album, Sunset Strip was hell although it had talented acts coming together all over the States. The poverty, the STD pandemic, and the duels to become the best band of the Strip are the sagas that complete the album. Let's not forget Slash's memorable solos which arouse every listener's sense.

Awesome album. It has changed the world of hard rock. Today, "Welcome to the Jungle", "Paradise City", and "Sweet Child O' Mine" are very respectable songs. "Nightrain", "Think About You", and "Rocket Queen" are great too, in my opinion. The guitar solo from "Sweet Child O' Mine" is still one of the greatest solos in rock history.

3 Def Leppard - Hysteria

This is definitely the best album from 1987. To me, it is like a greatest hits album. Seven singles, killer guitarists, awesome bass, one-armed drummer, killer lead vocals. What else could you want?

Glam rock is defined by this album. I'm not really sure how I feel about this album. It's alright. I definitely prefer Def Leppard songs to albums.

4 Anthrax - Among the Living
5 Whitney Houston - Whitney
6 Belinda Carlisle - Heaven On Earth

Heaven is a Place on Earth, I Get Weak, Circle in the Sand... this album is fabulous, and Belinda's voice is so sweet.

Americans don't deserve this talented woman. They never appreciated her talent.

7 Pink Floyd - A Momentary Lapse of Reason
8 Aerosmith - Permanent Vacation
9 Red Hot Chili Peppers - Uplift Mofo Party Plan
10 Judas Priest - Priest... Live!
The Contenders
11 George Michael - Faith
12 Dio - Dream Evil
13 The Smiths - Strangeways, Here We Come
14 Bryan Adams - Into The Fire
15 Prince - Sign 'O' the Times

Prince plays nearly every instrument on every track. Simply amazing.

16 Madonna - You Can Dance
17 Sonic Youth - Sister
18 Sandra - Ten On One
19 INXS - Kick

This album is highly underrated. It's probably my favorite one, even better than any Michael Jackson stuff released in 1987.

It has Need You Tonight. Come on!
