  Back in Black - AC DC

  Does this rock enough for you @BleachedAnusDawg ?
  
  @RatherBeBrewing if X Los Angeles isn't high on your list of all time punk records your stock price with me will plummet.

  Lost both the 80 and 84 summer games. That was another thing that hurt Carl Lewis. His greatest performance didn't have commies to beat

  Yeah I think so. A lot of great albums in 1980 but the gap from 1 to 2 is pretty large.

  The Game - Queen

  Back in Back is better but IFL Queen so I voted for them.

  Blizzard Of Ozz - Ozzy Osbourne

  Strong field. Ozzy Bark at the Moon album in 83 is my favorite of his and I spaced on that year so he gets my vote here.

  Ace Of Spades - Motörhead

  I had to give some love to Lemmy, but yeah, with Blizzard and Black, this is a TUFF sledding year.

  Back in Black is really a great album. It was almost ready for Bon to put lyrics to it when he died, so unfortunately we'll never know what kind of masterpiece it would have been. It still turned out pretty awesome with Brian, but nobody fills Bon Scott's shoes.
  
  This year is loaded. It was hard for me to pass over British Steel - it's one of my favorite albums.

  X - Los Angeles

  In 80 or so, with MTV (when they played music) and mix tapes (Jeeezus. I am OLD), I got exposed to Punk, early Alt-Country, and English Pub Rock...fell in love with Rockpile, still love them today...

  Wtf? No option to politely tell Row Peter Puffer to F.O. with respect??
  
  This is arguably in the Top 3 for 1980! I know Back In Black destroys all that year, but still....can’t believe the omission.

  Bauhaus’ debut album was the landmark moment in the goth-rock music scene.
  
  
  
  Even though the ANTHEM of goth music came out a year earlier.

  I saw them about 13 years ago at the Showbox. Peter Murphy and Daniel Ash were amazing. Peter Murphy solo, Love and Rockets and Tones on Tail along with the mother ship, Bauhaus are all worth my time, every time.

  @RatherBeBrewing if X Los Angeles isn't high on your list of all time punk records your stock price with me will plummet.

  X is definitely on the short list of best and most influential. But 1980 had this absolute classic:
  
  
  
  I met Jello Biafra when I was 15. I spilled a beer in his vicinity, he took one look at me and said I'm the worst type of people and walked away.

  I met John Doe at the Sundance Film Fest about 14 years ago. X's first album is probably my favorite punk record by an American group not named the Ramones. I toyed with putting in Dead Kennedy's but was appeasing the metal voters.
