80's Music

early P.I.L.: poptones (god, sounds like a caterpillar stuck in a swamp) (feat. jah wobble)
speaking of jah wobble:
czukay, wobble, liebezeit: how much are they?
the can (rite time, 1989): below this level (there is none)
and of course the man himself (his main work, imho, was in the 90ies - but this early album is like a blueprint for what was to come):
jah wobble - psalms: sakharov

+1 for choosing nunsexmunkrock as an example of nina hagen!

i also have a slightly different view on some already mentioned here:

depeche mode: everything counts in large amounts
kraftwerk: die roboter (i always prefer their german versions. the english translations are not ideal) (omg, that's from 1978!)
laurie anderson: language is a virus
cocteau twins: peppermint pig
XTC: drums and wires has always been the only xtc album for me. - scissor man - helicopter
the b52's from their incredible cosmic thing: topaz, channel z, and from their very first album: rock lobster
the talking heads - remain in light (1981): crosseyed and painless

ok, more that haven't been mentioned yet.

germany:
ideal - bi nuu (their last album, 1982 - maybe it's better to disband before sinking into eternal mediocrity): wir zerstören unser glück
grauzone: wütendes glas, träume mit mir...
foyer des artes: schimmliges brot

...and now you got me digging through my vinyls...

viv akauldren (what an obscure band. raise your hand if you heard of them): as you wish

new zealand:
the chills: pink frost, i love my leather jacket
tall dwarfs: crush, and this genius video
the bats: north by north

siouxsie and the banshees from their one and only juju album (1981): arabian nights
eat (1988): mr and mrs smack
sonic youth - daydream nation, 1988 (i prefer goo, but that was 1990...): hei joni

This thread has me on a cindy lauper kick n depeche mode ( well I guess they are 90's) damn U Hhh ! lmao. Like all generations in the 80's music mattered and was certainly different.

vll!

I make no guarantees of the quality or even what is on these tapes, but here's a 30gb collection of 80's mix tapes that are on the Internet Archive. A friend of mine sent me the link on Facebook but I haven't had the chance to even check it out.

saneks, your stuff reminds me of...

Fehlfarben - Monarchie und Alltag: Grauschleier

and art of noise's first (1984):
whos_afraid_of_the_art_of_noise
a strange beast...

+1 for bob marley's last 2 albums.

did someone already mention talk talk? living in another world (epic) and spirit of eden (the whole album. not much point otherwise).

ultra vivid scene: mercy seat (i've had that record for 20 years, it's the first time i see the singer... disappointing)

at least gary numan looks the part: cars
