Best Ever Albums strongly disagrees with me about 1982

Following up on the previous post, I wanted to see how 1982, my favorite year for music, fared in another Best Albums of the 1980's list.  This time, I used the top 100 albums from the fine folks over at besteveralbums.com.  This time, not only did 1982 not top the list, it placed 8th.  8th!  If this nonsense keeps up, I'll have to create my own definitive list (which we all know is coming anyway).  Using the same formula (album #1 received 100 points, album #2 received 99 points, and so on through #100 receiving 1 point, 5050 total points available), here are the results:

		1984 Number of albums: 17 Points: 948
		1987 Number of albums: 13 Points: 607
		1989 Number of albums: 9 Points: 569
		1986 Number of albums: 10 Points: 551
		1980 Number of albums: 14 Points: 542
		1988 Number of albums: 6 Points: 521
		1983 Number of albums: 8 Points: 440
		1982 Number of albums: 9 Points: 392
		1985 Number of albums: 7 Points: 380
		1981 Number of albums: 2 Points: 100

The 1982 albums common to both the Rolling Stone list and the Best Ever Albums list are Thriller, 1999, Nebraska, and Avalon.

Unlike Rolling Stone's list, this list tends to favor the latter half of the decade.  Poor 1981.  I thought it fared poorly on the RS list, but here it only places 2 albums on the list (the Rush album pictured above and Black Flag's Damaged).  Like any opinionated person would, I'll keep looking for a list until I find someone who agrees with me about 1982.
