I have exactly five (count 'em, five) lists left*. Thought I'd get them out of the way before Henrik signs off on them on Wednesday. This year is definitely one where I'm looking forward to the songs list even more, but for now, here's the best albums of 1987 (aka The Joshua Tree, Appetite for Destruction, and the other ones).
* This one, a ranking of every UK Eurovision entry (though that one may be single-critic, so maybe not), a ranking of every Metallica song by Laut, Loudwire's 50 Game-Changing Hard Rock + Metal Albums, and a best Canadian songs list.

Bad topping the list instead of any of #s 4-2 was a bit surprising, but not very. A solid list overall.

If you do, please don't look for any more lists after that

Not even- the Eurovision one is ineligible, so scratch that one. And absolutely, I promise that these are the last of them before the update.

Okie. Empty your bag then, and just don't go digging anymore

Good list, the top 5 is really good.

Very cool to see "Bad" at the top, one of my favorites 80s albums.

Thanks, Stevie!
