Nice collection, again, of which I - discarding Bowie - personally like The B-52's, Japan, Gary Numan, Talking Heads, Toyah and Tubeway Army. Will vote for The Pleasure Principle.

Lodger is actually among my favorite Bowie-albums. So another Bowie-vote from me. 

Most of these albums got something to them. Both Gary Numan and Tubeway Army are great. Joy Division, The Cure, Japan, Boomtown Rats, Talking Heads are all good (never been as crazy about Joy Division as I know many are). Blondie is a wonderful singles band, and there's very little I dislike here. Even Clash sounds occasionally semidecent by now at times. But some of the ones I'm actually a fan of (Siouxsie & The Cure in particular), got more interesting - and better - in the early eighties.

The Clash - London Calling

I'm also quite fond of

The Police - Reggatta de Blanc
Elvis Costello & the Attractions - Armed Forces
                      quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond
