Top Christian Albums of the 1980's

To Re-Cap -- The first date is the year the album came out; the second date represents the year I first remember hearing it. There's somewhat lof a delay in all but a few cases. Something to do with being 8,000 miles away during much of the decade. I've also linked each title to the original posting, which in retrospect seems kinda pointless -- if nobody read it the first time around, why would anybody read it again?
