Are we supposed to only consider the artist's output from that decade? So for example are we allowed to consider Remain In Light for Talking Heads, despite the fact that it came out in 1980?

#1 Talking Heads -- Though The Tubes had some great songs and are a band worth checking out.

#9 Echo & The Bunnymen -- Another tough matchup, until I listened to "Bring On The Dancing Horses" this morning at my desk. That sealed the deal.

#5 EW&F -- Motorhead really has one great song and some okay stuff, for EW&F if you can look past "Boogie Wonderland" their pretty solid.

#4 VH -- Call me crazy, but I've always been a big VH fan.

#3 Roxy Music -- Another one of those closer than you may think votes.

#11 Rick James -- I've tried to get into Wire, they just do not do it for me.

#10 The Specials --

#2 SABBATH!!!! How awesome is it listening to the 1st Sabbath album on vinyl, if you've never experienced it, I highly reccomend it!!!

Pere Ubu has two albums in my all time top 50. It'd be so awesome if they pulled off this upset. But even if they swept the AM votes they'd probably lose.
