    J. C. Fogerty and the BOSS for me. Always loved the live version of the song Centerfield more than the studio version (although it's great, too). The live version is more ROCKIN' Give a listen. Oh, and I LOVE the Louisville Slugger guitar!
    John Fogerty - Centerfield LIVE

    I own Born In The USA, but it's probably my least favorite Springsteen album.

    I picked No Jacket Required, Reckless, and obviously Purple Rain. I think time has been surprisingly kind to Phil Collins and Bryan Adams' most successful albums, and they're being appreciated more lately than over most of the last 25 years, which is nice to see.

    When this tune was popular I would disect it and listen to it with wonder.
    This instrumental was so fresh and new spring 1985. Thirty three years later it still sounds as fresh as it did then.

    Meat Is Murder is a true classic. Contains my absolute favourite Smiths song - the heartbreaking and haunting 'That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore'. A beautiful record.

    I own three - Fogerty, Springsteen, and Prince - although I really have no idea when I last played any of them.

    u2 - war
    alan parsons project - vulture culture
    the art of noise - who's afraid of the art of noise
    howard jones - human's lib
    phil collins - hello i must be going
    u2 - the unforgettable fire
    duran duran - arena
    u2 - under a blood red sky
    talking heads - stop making sense
    ultravox - the collection
    howard jones - the 12 inch album
    frankie goes to hollywood - welcome to the pleasuredome
    phil collins - face value

    Phil Collins
    Prince
    Springsteen
    Madonna
    Pointer Sisters

    I think all of them still get pretty regular rotation too.
