www.bbc.comU2's Joshua Tree voted the best album of the 1980sThe record beat Michael Jackson's Thriller and George Michael's Faith to top a Radio 2 poll. Not even U2's best album of the 80s for me. I'll take War or the Unforgettable Fire over it.My top from the 80s (Bruce excluded), probably Dire Straits Making Movies, with Tom Petty's Damn The Torpedoes, a close second.
Excepting Bruce, the eighties were not my decade for music. I'd be hard put to name a favorite that was not Springsteen.
