[b]10.Blancmange "The Day Before You Came"
9.Spear Of Destiny "The Wheel"
8.The The "Uncertain Smile"
7.The Style Council "Promised Land"
6.Tears For Fears "The Way You Are"
5.Pale Fountains "Palm Of My Hand"
4.Matt Bianco "Yeah Yeah"
3.Lloyd Cole And The Commotions "Lost Weekend"
2.China Crisis "King In A Catholic Style (Wake Up) "

There two that come to mind right now.
Book Of Love - Book Of Love and Cock Robin - Cock Robin, both of these albums were great especially Book Of Love, how they never blew up is beyond me.
