The Waterboys: This is the Sea
The Smiths: Hatful of Hollow
Joy Division: Substance (a compilation, but released in the nineteen eighties)

Oh come on, "Imagination" (the single, not the group) was one of the best dance songs of the 80s. Easy to diss it now, but at the time it was a great song!
Didn't Loose Ends do "Hanging on a String" or some such carp? "I Got You" by Split Enz was a good song. Alphaville's "Big in Japan" was good. "Fade to Grey" by Visage. And who can forget "Careless Whisper"

Human League - early stuff, Being Boiled still sounds good today
Sisters of Mercy
Depeche Mode, although I have totally outgrown their early stuff, I prefer them from 1988 onwards, too poppy for my liking until then.
Tubeway Army & Gary Numan up until 83 - yeah plane crashes blah blah, although he never actually crashed one, You tube has a load of his stuff, I didnt evenm know there was a vid for Airlane featuring his black and red "Telekon" plane
Clash
Mission
Ian Dury and the Blockheads
Southern Death Cult / Cult
Smiths
Stone Roses
Ultravox
Icicle Works
New Order/Joy Division
Fashion
Bauhaus
Adam and the Ants - up until KOTWF, went total amatuer dramatics after that.
Japan
Talk Talk
Flock of Seagulls - 1st Album
Swansway
B-Movie - Nowhere Girl 12" is still a favourite
Boomtown Rats
Echo and the Bunnymen - still going strong
Associates
Skids
To name a few

With regards to the Sisters of Mercy; Id say that First and Last and Always was ****e... Body Electric; Alice and The Reptile House EP were massively superior. I quite like The Mission though, back in 1987 (I was saved by The Stone Roses)... I went to see them actually, the first time that they toured at the Sheffiled Uni Octagon.
