Subo este hilo como posible guía-referencia para la inminente encuesta/votación ochentera, apuntar que inexplicablemente la edición australiana de la Rolling Stone puso al "London calling" como mejor disco de la década, cuando salió publicado el 14 de diciembre de 1979...
Como se puede comprobar, hay vida más allá del AxD: "The Joshua tree", "Thriller", "Born in the USA", "Purple rain", "Back in black"... Aunque me habría gustado encontrar algún listado de algún medio más "rockero", si alguien sabe de alguna lista de Classic Rock, o incluso alguna revista jebi, se agradecería compartiese
