Top 10 Best Albums of 1987

Bad - Michael Jackson

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.

Appetite for Destruction - Guns N' Roses

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.

Hysteria - Def Leppard

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?
