Oh my, since you got me diggin out 80's tunes, I just dug out Vern Gosdin's Super Hits. I'll have to play this one again ( my way ) after the kids are gone to school :yes:

As in Vern & Rex, 'The Gosdin Brothers'?
Also, as in, Gene Clark with the Gosdin Brothers?
 
The Pretenders - The Pretenders EP. It features Porcelain, one of most furious pieces of rock 'n' roll around, Cuban Slide, and a nice live version of Precious.
Duran Duran - Duran Duran. It features an all time great line "you are as easy as a nuclear war"
Rachel Sweet - Protect the Innocent (1980)

In many cases, I'll really like only one song from an album:

Bananarama: He was really saying something from Deep Sea Skiving, and Nathan Jones from Wow
The Motels: Suddenly Last Summer from Little Robbers
The Bongoes: Space Jungle from Beat Hotel, which I always follow with the Bangles' Different Light
Romeo Void: Never Say Never from Benefactor

Some albums that have an 80's flavor to them were actually made in the late seventies:

Blondie - Parallel Lines (1978)
The Motels - The Motels (1979), featuring two songs I really like, Total Control and Celia
 
No 80s playlist can be complete without some Madonna....
