The Cars. Still sounds fresh to my ears.

Elvis, XTC, The Police, and Talking Heads, follow closely behind.

Yeah, a bunch of interesting albums, also for nostalgic reasons, but the only one I enjoy listening to still regularly nowadays is Lene Lovich's Stateless.

Tom Robinson Band - Power in the Darkness,  but Pub Rock to me (and for instance RYM)
                      quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond

Talking Heads start to become really good here, the Devo album is big fun, great debut of Siouxsie, some other good ones here, too, but always being biased in favour of my favourites, I vote Patti Smith again.

Yes i learned that long ago as well. I may once have voted for a three star album of his in those timeline polls. But other than that it was all two's - except for a one star. But Stateless is quirky New Wave-pop with hooks + a top three and a top twenty hitsong to boot, not Kosmische-Avant-Prog-Fusion. So I figured there could be hope. Maybe not. I just read someplace here that PsychPaul listens to albums for about five minutes before he gives them his rating. I too often decide whether something is for me or not after five minutes of listening or less, so I'm not judging. But I've been wrong a few times. Perhaps even quite a few times. In the past.

^ Then again, if I only give an album a 1-star rating, it might not make it into the poll at all, like the absolutely dreadful debut from Public Image Ltd, for instance. Wink

Ah! Public Image Ltd. with Jah Wobble! They'd surely be candidates to grab my vote. Big smile

Seriously!?? Are you saying you prefer Public Image Ltd to any of the 25 albums in the poll? Shocked

Tubeway Army - Tubeway Army [pedant mode on] The artist for this album is Tubeway Army and not Gary Numan. Same for Replicas. After that, from The Pleasure Principle on, it was Gary Numan [/pedant mode off] Wink

Anyway, it gets my vote. Smile
