Albums of the Year - 1987

Here's the Best Ever Albums list for this year:

 1. U2 - The Joshua Tree

2. Guns'N' Roses - Appetite For Destruction 

3. Prince - Sign 'O The Times

4. The Smiths - Strangeways Here We Come

5. Dinosaur Jr. - You're Living All Over Me

6. R.E.M. - Document

7. Michael Jackson - Bad

8. Sonic Youth - Sister

9. Depeche Mode - Music For The Masses

10. Def Leppard - Hysteria

In some ways a slightly substandard year for albums in comparison with the years around it I'd say.  Sign 'O The Times stands out by a country mile as the best record of the year. Elsehwere, R.E.M., The Triffids and Go Betweens put out solid but not career best records. And I'm required to pick the Dirty Dancing soundtrack to flesh out the list, (just composed of records I own), to fifteen.

1. Prince - Sign 'O The Times


2.The Smiths - Strangeways Here We Come


3. Sonic Youth - Sister


4. Opal - Happy Nightmare Baby


5. The Wedding Present - George Best


6. R.E.M. - Document


7. The Go Betweens - Tallulah


8. The Triffids - Calenture


9. Terrence Trent D'Arby - Introducing The Hardline According To Terrence Trent D'Arby


10.The Weather Prophets - Mayflower


11. Julian Cope - Saint Julian


12. Happy Mondays - Squirrel & G Men 24 Hour Party Plastic Face Can't Smile (White Out)


13. Suzanne Vega - Solitude Standing


14. Echo & The Bunnymen - Echo & The Bunnymen


15. Dirty Dancing - Original Soundtrack
