Some fine choices here, a few of which would appear on my list. I'm more a singles than albums person, to be honest, and more "pop" than "rock" but here are my favourite albums of the 1980s (in no particular order of merit):
Duran Duran - Rio
A-ha - Hunting High and Low
Human League - Dare
Michael Jackson - Thriller
Madonna - True Blue
Pet Shop Boys - Actually
New Order - Technique
And from your list:
Guns N'Roses - Appetite for Destruction
U2 - The Joshua Tree
The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead
