while acknowledging some of the albums on it are very good.

In no particular order:

Joe Jackson had a great first few years of the 1980s -
Beat Crazy
Jumpin' Jive
Night & Day

Jeff Beck reappeared briefly in 1984
There and Back

A Lot of people mention Roxy Music Avalon. I prefer Flesh + Blood, from 1980.

Jesus and Mary Chain had a solid decade:
Psychocandy
Darklands
Automatic

Echo and The Bunnymen got a fair amount of play in my house, especially Ocean Rain

The other two Clash albums:
Sandinista
Combat Rock

Joni Mitchell had a weak decade, but did finish well with
Chalkmark In A Rainstorm

Have to include Joan Jett,
Bad Reputation
I Love Rock n Roll
Up Your Alley

Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms

Lucinda Williams - self titled
