I waited for someone to do this for a moment when I actually had money to buy albums.
If you want something doing, you gotta do it yourself!

Japan - Tin Drum
Ultravox - Rage in Eden
OMD - Architecture and Morality
The Stranglers - Gospel According to the Men In Black

And a thanks to whoever posted Rattus Norvegicus on an earlier thread. I have'nt stopped playing it since!

    Listen, when you get to my age, your brain just starts leaking out of your ears. Who cares, it deserves two threads, and given my mental state, it'll probably get a third one in the close season!

    "Before your very eyes" by the stupendously great guitarist and author, Deke Leonard.

    BTW If anyone has written better books on the underside of Rock n Roll, then I'm yet yo read them.
    Check out " Rhinos Winos and Lunatics" "Maybe I should have stayed in bed " and "Man on the road to nowhere" for a laugh and an insight.

    "All balls and no Willy" by John Otway still sounds great.

    i loved Speak and Spell, and never really got into the band afterwards, despite being told repeatedly that they were better (yeah, right, Construction time Again!!)
    I missed Non StopErotic Cabaret. God knows how. one of my favourite ever albums regardless of the year.
