    Not really much of a prog decade for me, so probably alone in these choices, though some of these have influence and appeal to a few round here:

    David Sylvian - Secrets Of The Beehive (could just have easily have picked Gone To Earth)
    Talk Talk - Spirit Of Eden
    Simple Minds - Sons & Fascination / Sister Feelings Call
    Talking Heads - Remain In Light
    The Go-Betweens - 16 Lovers Lane

    I've got 4 out of 5, excellent list! ABC have always been an excellent yet underrated band in my opinion, especially alongside DD, OMD, Spandau B, H League, Ultravox. Another band of that ilk that often gets overlooked is Icehouse.

    King Crimson - Discipline
    Peter Gabriel - (3rd one)
    Steve Morse Band - The Introduction
    Allan Holdsworth - Metal Fatigue

    For me:

    Peter Gabriel- III
    King Crimson- Discipline
    Peter Hammill- Sitting Targets
    Marillion- Clutching At Straws
    Genesis- Duke

    With 'The Wake' and 'Moving Pictures' coming close. Not a shining decade for the music though IMHO.

    One possible answer:

    Freur: Doot Doot
    Thompson Twins: Quick Step And Side Kick
    ELO: Time
    Zebra: No Tellin' Lies
    Henry Kaiser: It's A Wonderful Life

    Ask me again tomorrow, and I'll probably give you a totally different answer.
