1980:
1.
Talking Heads -
Remain in Light
It's hard for me to point out one single flaw with this album. Few albums have passed the test of time as well as Remain in Light has - but I guess that's what I'd expect from something so remarkably forward-thinking and perfectly executed. This is in my top ten for good reason.
2.
The Feelies -
Crazy Rhythms
A totally fun album from start to finish. Crazy Rhythms is also immensely influential, and The Feelies deserve much more credit than they receive.
3.
The Soft Boys -
Underwater Moonlight
I really, really like
Underwater Moonlight. It's a glorious mixture of post-punk and jangle pop with obvious psychedelic influence. A neo-psychedelic masterpiece.
4.
Circle Jerks -
Group Sex
Classic hardcore punk. Wastes no time with what it doesn't need - everything is short and to the point. Greatness.
