Really going to be interesting whenever the next update rolls around seeing how many years get lists devoted to them. Obviously, any year celebrating an anniversary is going to get commemorated (I'm guessing there'll be 1973/83/93 and 2003/13 lists coming out this year aplenty), but I don't know when year-specific lists started becoming such a thing.

20. INXS: Shabooh Shoobah
19. X: Under The Big Black Sun
18. Lou Reed: The Blue Mask
17. Elvis Costello & The Attractions: Imperial Bedroom
16. Duran Duran: Rio
15. Donald Fagen: The Nightfly
14. Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five: The Message
13. Roxy Music: Avalon
12. The Cure: Pornography
11. Laurie Anderson: Big Science
10. The Fall: Hex Enduction Hour
9. Mission of Burma: Vs.
8. Richard & Linda Thompson: Shoot Out the Lights
7. Bad Brains: Bad Brains
6. R.E.M.: Chronic Town
5. Kate Bush: The Dreaming
4. The Clash: Combat Rock
3. Prince: 1999
2. Bruce Springsteen: Nebraska
1. Michael Jackson: Thriller

Note the very careful wording in the Thriller write-up to avoid ever directly complimenting MJ himself. Relatively tactful without having to bring up all the everything.
