3 Graceland - Paul Simon
2 A.O. Mod. TV. Vers. - Spy v Spy
1 Slippery When Wet - Bon Jovi

G'lands iconic sound; the ubiquity of Bon Jovi. BUT Spy vs Spy has the Aussie social commentary. This album was played each weekend at my first share house in 1987. Saw them live in 1988. Brilliant!

Lots of other good albums on that list. Have played both Gossip and Harry's Reasons in the past week from original LPs - gave away the Billy Bragg one :(
