Best Album on My Favourite Albums of......1981!!

Haha, I thought I voted Comsat Angels but that was 1980!

Cheers to the fellow Au Pairs lover.

My favorite album that gets absolutely zero love on ILM: Modern Romance’s Adventures in Clubland. A partyin’ disco-rock classic from start to finish.

wish Cabaret Voltaire - Red Mecca was more regarded in history. voted for Eno/Byrne

I'm surprised my choice placed as highly as it did here, but am dismayed no one voted for Heaven 17 or Comsat Angels and only one person voted for Solid Gold. Like, WTF?!
