Vote for your favorite album of 1981...

"Escape" and "Fair Warning" almost made it for me but I'm going with "Moving Pictures" by Rush.

I know it was released in '80...but where the hell is Styx- Paradise Threater? It was released in late '80 but for some reason it was an '81 album. Would've still said Escape...but c'mon. :lol:

Some other notable ones are missing:

Hi Infidelity - REO Speedwagon
Paradise Theatre - Styx
Don't Say No - Billy Squier
Allied Forces - Triumph
Blizzard of Oz - Ozzy (Amazon says this was a 1981 release)
Get Lucky - Loverboy
Belladonna - Stevie Nicks
Precious Time - Pat Benatar
Fire of Unknown Origin - BOC

IMO 1981 was the best year ever for melodic rock. I'd be curious to see what Drew thinks.

EDIT - I see that Dave listed some of these under the 1980 poll. I got my list from Amazon, so who knows which one is correct.

Everybody should own a copy of Moving Pictures and Signals, at least.

I agree that Moving Pictures is a great record. I, of course, chose Escape followed very closely by Fair Warning. One of VH's best.
I like to sit out on the front porch, where the birds can see me, eating a plate of scrambled eggs, just so they know what I'm capable of.

Umm...Perhaps nitpicking but that is only section #2 of the song "2112".

Didn't know that, don't care. If the rest of the garbage on that song is actually all one song, I officially like zero songs by them and only part of one. Happy? :lol: :P :x

I find it odd that out of everything Rush has done, you only like one song. Extremely hard to believe, maybe you need to check out more?
