I do hope we can track down the 1986-1989 and Best Albums of the 80s Rock de Lux lists somehow, someway. Would be great to have complete info from that source. Have you looked into searching libraries (if you're in Spain)?
Dancedelux: 1985-2005. 20 years of electronic music. The Best 50 Records
Two days ago I posted the oldest list from Rockdelux. Now’s the turn of the newest (it’s still available in shops in Spain). Dancedelux was the alternative magazine devoted to electronica that Rockdelux has been publishing yearly in June or July (at the same time that Sonar Festival in Barcelona). I said “was” because in July 2005 it has been published Dancelux 10, the last issue of the magazine that sadly closes its doors, following the path of other electronica magazines like “Muzik”. One more prove of certain regression of the public and critical acceptance of this kind of music in recent years (as an example, 5 records of the Top 10 of 1997 of Acclaimed Music can be filed under “electronica”, while only The Streets in the Top 10 of 2004 could be really included).
Anyway the last number of Dancedelux is very interesting, with a complete chronology of the electronic styles since 1985, many photos of electronica heroes and three lists, “1985-2005. 20 años de música electrónica. Los 50 mejores discos” (1985-2005. 20 years of electronic music. The Best 50 Records), being the other two lists “indispensable compilations” and “the 20 most significant Spanish records”. The records of the main list were:

Well, and no more list from Rockdelux, except those of Spanish records. If some of you are interested in this Spanish lists please let me know. I could send you by e-mail (but if there are many people interested I could post it in the forum too).
When I only saw the hip-hop list, I didn't think I would include it, as Dance de Lux is/was not (only) a hip-hop magazine. However, with the electronica list, the two lists seem like complements to each other. So, if Dance de Lux has focused on both hip-hop and electronica (and almost nothing else), then I will include both lists.
