Looking at this list I can tell my interest in pop music was waning by 1987. I didn't/don't own many of these. Think I'm opting for Thin White Rope.

Impossible to POO but voted Swans.

The opposite is true for me. After the disaster area that was the 1986 list, this is a breath of fresh air.

Man this year sucked. That said, went with Eric B and Rakim

A quick glance at the list suggested a weaker year but when I counted it turned out I own 25 of these on vinyl. Go figure. “And the sun comesLike a god into our roomAll perfect light and promises”

1987 is better represented by its pop hits than its critically acclaimed albums.

Paid in Full over Sign o' the Times. Paid in Full is my favourite rap album.

Not entirely unhappy with the number of people who went for Secrets of the Beehive; compared to how the rest of the voting went, that was a rousing endorsement of the album. <3

Voting for the stunning Beehive was a very obvious choice for me here, although not even half as obvious as my vote for Gone To Earth in the preceding poll.

Missed this poll at the time, but would have voted for The Young Gods without a second's hesitation.
