I dunno - I really think that metal by the later 80s had become a bit stagnant and trope ridden. Sure you had the rise of bands like Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax etc who were doing 'new things'.

But there had been little in the way of innovation from the 70s and the days of Judas Priets and Iron Maiden (both of whom by the 80s close were a parody of themselves).

Sure, guitar wise there was a lot of talent in there - but f**k me the quality of a lot of the lyrics and compositions were repetitive and formulaic.

I think metal wise the 90s were a better era, with the rise of very innovative revisionist bands like Monster Magnet, Smashing Pumpkins, Kyuss, Primus as well as the more Nu-Metal bands like Lincoln Park, Green Day.

80s was hair metal horror shows, of guitarists who would spend 30 minutes 'guitar w*nking' out solos.

FFS. You have to be joking.

Judging by your list of albums, I'm glad I wasn't anywhere near your bedroom in the 80's.

Yep. Some of those tracks were simply ahead of their time - trance music in 1982 before trance had been invented - and sound as fresh as a daisy 36 years later.

Hunter and the Hunted is my favourite track ever out of everything ever produced by any musician in the history of music and the dreamtime remix of that on youtube is just amazing.

I think that's the thing, apart from the obvious tones of Jim Kerr, it wasn't the simple minds sound everyone recognises, it's one of the few albums I've had on cassette, Vinyl and the CD when they came out.

East Side Story by Squeeze deserves a mention on this 80's list as well

After New Gold Dream, they went to s***.

Ach you'd have been alright, there was some metal going on. I've got a Judas Priest soft spot from when I was a wee un, a bit of the Crue and absolutely adore Motorhead. As long as you weren't asking for some Maiden you'd be alright.
