The best of the 1980's

[Captain Bottles]

I didn't own them at the time

Neither did I. I wasn't even born when a few of those were released.

So you weren't into New Wave then.

Duran Duran's Rio almost made the list, as did Elvis Costello's Trust. Remain in Light, one of my favourite albums of all time, was sort of proto-new-wave.

These lists always bother me. Not enough room!
