Too close to call between these three... Elvis Costello: This Year’s Model Blondie: Parallel Lines Nick Lowe: Pure Pop for Now People
Rocketing from the tombs came this glorious din of an album, synthesizer squall soundscapes bouncing through songs that went sideways.

The contestants: AC/DC-Powerage David Gilmour-s/t the Rolling Stones-Some Girls the Cars-s/t EC & the Attractions-This Years Model Nick Lowe-Pure Pop/Jesus of Cool Pat Travers Band-Heat in the Street Van Halen-s/t Many other great albums to consider as well...
