Nice one Pookie.

Tears For Fears. Grandmaster Flash is cool, and I like a fair bit of Clash stuff but not Straight to Hell. From outside the top ten, I'd pick Rock the Casbah, plus tracks by Bauhaus, Stranglers and China Crisis.

Funny how '82's FF contains significantly more genuinely popular stuff than when I started paying attention (around '95).
