This site, slicingupeyeballs.com, has been doing a poll for the best albums of each year in the 80's.
I overlooked it for '88 with Box Frenzy... but they still made 83rd best album of the year.
Let's see if we can get This Is This closer to the top for '89.
Also, you get to vote for 10 albums... and there's some damn fine choices for '89. Happy voting.
