    87 isn't a bad year for music. There are better (88, for one) but it's not bad. Maybe not very many stone cold classics but some really good albums.
    Anyway, you know the drill by now, eligibility is from Jan 1 to Dec 31 1987.
    Have fun. Maybe you'll rediscover an old favorite album you've forgotten.
