I was born in 1981, and over the past few years I bought any albums released in (or made some impact in) 1981 that I found intriguing. Some were already a part of my favorite bands' work. With my 30th birthday this year, I made a project to research for a lot more albums of 1981 that felt noteworthy to me. The result was two Amazon Listmania lists totaling over 70 albums!
Below are the two lists. You can view the details of each album by going to the Amazon lists via each link.
