I still like 1984 better, but Fair Warning certainly has arguably VH's best song in "Unchained" (not to mention "Mean Street").



Yeah, I've always thought Fair Warning was their best album.

And the Cradle will Rock is my favorite VH song.

The answer is Thriller, its a fricking masterpiece. There is no close 2nd.

I enjoy many of the other albums listed greatly.

Don't have to like a thing about it, its a fricking masterpiece. There is nothing close to it

I agree that its a great album, but there are plenty close to it. We are talking preference, not sales.

London Calling was released in January 1980 so it would also be an 80s album. You could argue that the discussion was over after the first month of the decade.

I just don't consider it an 80s album, though. It doesn't have any kind of 80s feel.

That's another reason I don't really consider it 80s. I was looking at the US release, but I guess the earliest release would be the most appropriate.

Uh, yea, seriously. Easily one of top 5 best rap albums ever made. Still probably the best use of samples in music.
