You can add Todd Rundgren's "Accapella" to the 80's list.
You're missing a top 5 album and for that you have to go back to the 50's: Frank Sinatra "Sings for Only The Lonely".
It's an essential that should be up with Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On".
Nice to see The Notorious Byrd Brothers on the list. Way underrated album.
First live gig I ever saw was at the old Boarding House in San Francisco in '78. It was a reunion of 4 of the 5 original Byrds for the first and only time since 1965: Roger McGuin, Gene Clark (RIP), Chris Hillman, and David Crosby for three roof-raising encores.
Not many aware, but this is Crosby's last album with them. He quit the band before the release, and is represented by the horse.
He's lucky he got that end.
According to the folks at snopes.com, that's a myth (although Crosby, to this day, doesn't think so).

I like Roger McGuinn's comment: "If we had intended to do that, we would have turned the horse around."
Also, I'd take Neil Young's "After the Gold Rush" WAY over "Tonight's the Night."
