Torn between a few albums such as Prince ( 1999 ) , Bruce ( Nebraska ) Billy Joel ( Nylon Curtain ) but I’ll go for Peter Gabriel’s fourth album as my nomination please ‘64 .
Re: Album of 1982 - NOMINATE NOW!
New Gold Dream - Simple Minds
Re: Album of 1982 - NOMINATE NOW!
Torn between about 3 or 4 different options. Another good year, 1982.

Virgin Prunes - If I Die, I Die
I could have been really mean and gone for Hérésie, released as a double 10 inch box set in the same year. I went to London especially to buy it when it came out. The live version of Rhetoric is incredible, but not for the faint hearted.

Despite Combat Rock probably being my least favourite Clash album (if you ignore Cut The Crap) it's nevertheless still an excellent, solid 8/10 record for me

Good shout with Pornography
Great album, I went to see them on the Pornography tour at Newcastle City Hall. Also saw them at the same venue for the Faith tour. Both shows we're brilliant
