Exodus
Bob Marley & The Wailers
Really great first impressions. The production is pretty clean but in a way that lets everything really shine, especially the bass which is FAT. Reggae isn't a genre I'm too familiar with outside of some bands I enjoy that take heavy influence, but I really dig a lot of these songs musically and lyrically.

The Pleasure Principle
Gary Numan
This is one I'm very familiar with, a little disappointed to get it on the second day, but it was bound to happen with a good handful of these. Anyway, great album all the way through, very interesting sound combining cold synths with live instruments that'd go on to influence EVERYTHING for the next 40 years directly and indirectly. Easy 5.

She's So Unusual
Cyndi Lauper
Pretty solid stuff, of course the album has two big hits in Girls Wanna Have Fun and Time After Time, but the rest of it follows in a similar vein for the most part. Somewhat standard 80s pop production, but creative arrangements and such.

Africa Brasil
Jorge Ben Jor
Pretty fun stuff. Nice grooves and uplifting mood. I'm not super familiar with this kind of music since I don't live in Brazil, but it's pretty lively and even a bit complex musically.
