White Lion Radio's Top 30 Classic Albums Of The 80s & Late 70s

So after a month looking back at classic albums released in the 80s and a few from the late 70s we have the definitive Top 30 Classic albums as rated by White Lion Radio.

A reminder how we arrived at these scores, every track on the albums rated as either 3 (Outstanding), 2 (Good), 1 (ok) and 0 (Hate it). If albums are tied then they are rated by the number of tracks that got the top score of 3, if still level after that we count the number of tracks that got 2, sounds more complicated than the scoring system for the Eurovision Song Contest!! It's not believe me and it is an excellent way to accurately review an album.

Without further a do, here is our Top 30
