And i'd also like to nominate No New York even though it's a compilation.

Haha, this list is going to be impossibly difficult. I've got loads to add... I'll post it soon.

And nice job on the Magma, Eloy and Goblin Comus.

Lust For Life - Iggy Pop
Marquee Moon - Television
Nevermind the Bollocks-Sex Pistols
Rocket to Russia-Ramones
The Idiot-Iggy Pop
Unknown Pleasures-Joy Division
The Clash-The Clash

1st ones that to come to mind

I'll make special exceptions for certain compilations, I'll allow No New York and in place of Love Bites I'm putting on Singles Going Steady also.

Anything The Clash released in that time (S/T, Rope, London Calling).

Wasn't London Calling realesed in the 80's?
