Great debut by the Bunnies Finn.

Played it, and the other first five albums to death at the time.

I remember John Peel playing The Pictures On My Wall, and I was hooked, bought it and Rescue as singles and then the LP.

Was lucky enough to see them live in 1980.

Steely Dan
Whitesnake
Saxon

Have you heard the first Peel session they did when they had the Echo box before De Freitas joined?
I probably play those four tracks more than the albums, Read it in Books is better than the album version imo.

Yes, mate

They did a session for Peel and played a really great version of The Back Of Love, which was titled something different at the time, maybe Taking Advantage Of?

I loved that arrangement, when they brought the single out I was disappointed as it sounded like a disco song

[The Subhuman]

Two absolute greats for me, the Cure's masterpiece and Dexy's jaw dropping debut, then some very goods... I was never a fan of the NWOBHM to be honest...

[Johnboy1965]

First band I saw live too, Wheels Of Steel tour.

Same here- St George's Hall Bradford

[Johnboy1965]

Fantastic year for me this some brilliant albums.

Cure
Echo
Blondie
Saxon
Whitesnake

Honourable mentions to
Gary Numan and Talking Heads who just missed out.

[Muppet the Cat]

Not a great year imo!

I think there’s some really good albums across both those lists, 64. Certainly a lot better than some years.

[Haighy]

Saxon
M. Schenker
Whitesnake
Blondie
Siouxsie and the Banshees

Not a poor year by any means as I own 18 of the albums nominated over the two 1980 rounds, but not great imo! I rarely go back to the majority of the early 80's albums. Perhaps if I was ten years younger, I'd feel different about that period of music.

[1964white]

Dexy's docked a point for the line:

Lord have mercy on me, keep me away from Leeds.

Definitely worth docking a point Sara, but what do you expect from someone born in Wolverhampton
