The Triffids - In The Pines (1986) Just picked up the reissue of this record the other day, the one with the extra tracks on it. Let me just say that this album is secretly one of the best of the 80s. I think it's because it's so stripped down(recorded in a wool shed on an 8 track) and it wasn't infected with that classic 80s overproduction we've all come to know and hate.

Hall & Oates -- Voices (1980) First album I bought on my own. I remember going to a record store on Airline Highway in Metairie, Louisiana, and picking it out.
