The iconic debut hit from the Divinyls was 1981.

Slowly listening to your suggestions. Recent likes:

Tom Tom Club's debut album should have been known to me since I'm a huge Talking Heads fan. I really love this album.

Yellow Magic Orchestra's BGM is good, but Technodelic is fantastic.

Savant's Stationary Dance / Sensible Music is exceptional in its modern sound. Really dig it.

This is cool! However, I'd rather listen to full albums than listen to mixes. I literally take suggestions given in this thread and listen to full albums or both sides of 12"s/7"s. I was never into shuffled playlists or the like.

 

Right now I'm still loving YMO, Nick Mason, Rush and Tom Tom Club, but I'll be listening to all new stuff tonight.

Still going through suggestions and sticking with some favorites. Thank you all again, so much great music making the grind a lot more fun!

The Mkwaju Ensemble, Phew and African Head Change albums are excellent. I'll probably be listening to them a lot.
