For those semi-interested or less in the NilCAA tourney, I saw this for the Rock n' roll crowd here. I have U2 Joshua Tree edging VH 1984 on a buzzer beater for the Natty.

Before I can weigh in I need to know how much money they had to produce the albums.
 
They had a seeding problem…
Final Four should be:
Synchronicity
Joshua Tree
Back in Black
Escape

Joshua Tree is a complete effort with no weaknesses whatsoever.
 

Vote for the Best Album of the ’80s: Time for the Final Battle!​

With less than twelve hours remaining in their Best ’80s Album March Madness battle, Guns N’ Roses and Van Halen are locked in an incredibly close race.

After nearly 10,000 reader ballots have been cast, just 61 votes separate 1984 and Appetite for Destruction.

So we asked four of our writers to weigh in on which album gets their support in this race, before giving you one last chance to register your own vote below.
 
Respectfully none of these would even make my top 10. They are all outstanding, but far from desert island stuff from that decade for me
 
Here is the NIT version:

#1 Searching for the Young Soul Rebels (Dexys Midnight Runners) vs
#4 Actually (Pet Shop Boys)

#2 She's So Unusual (Cindy Lauper)
#3 Faith (George Michael)
