No idea whether you're even slightly interested in prog rock, but just in case: Ragnarök - Fata Morgana is from 1981.

 

[La Rocque]

Prince - controversy
Japan - tin drum
Orchestral Manouevres in the Dark - architecture and morality

I'd say Point of Entry is an album you could do without.. it has a few good tracks like Hot Rockin' and Heading out to the Highway,, but all in all it's one of their weakest releases IMO.
