The early to mid-1980s saw a lot of crap produced, much of it now sounding horribly dated by those tinny synthetics (especially the drum sound). Lloyd Cole's debut still sounds of its time, but has lasted well; literate and tuneful pop music at its best. Try these:
mp3 Lloyd Cole & the Commotions: (Are You Ready to be) Heartbroken
mp3 Lloyd Cole & the Commotions: Down on Mission Street
I don't think Cole ever quite hit the same heights again, thoiugh these two from the follow-up East Pieces are both killers:
mp3 Lloyd Cole & the Commotions: Lost Weekend
mp3 Lloyd Cole & the Commotions: Perfect Blue
Here's a lovely live recording:
mp3 Lloyd Cole: Why I Love Country Music (live)
