The peak in the number of great Thin Lizzy albums. |
2. Duran Duran: Duran Duran
 |
Debut album
from one of the most important bands of the New Romantics wave - and still a great album
today. Contains "Girls On Film", a classic in its own right. About Duran Duran |
3. Ultravox: Rage In Eden

 |
An album stuffed with soul, smoke, rock'n'roll and dirty manners. Great heavy rock from one of the best... |
10. Men At Work: Business As
Usual
 |
...Now wasn't there something about a song called "Down Under"....? Still, this would not be the only reason to get the album. Early '80's pop the Aussie way... |
