London Calling got nixed because it was released in 1979 in the UK. I don't know how that works. Maybe it was time zones.

'in time for christmas 1979' yes. Guess they weren't expecting the "greatest album of the eighties, oh wait.." accolades.

The Prets were Jan 1980 though..

Nice poll, Tuomas.

Though I imagined De la Soul might have had more support.

(I only just realised such a poll had had a roll-out thread. I recall voting in the earlier equivalent that mysteriously wasn't tallied up, c.2005)

I'm still salty about Peter Gabriel III not making this poll. By all means, we must make room for both Hatful of Hollow AND Louder Than Bombs!
