In the second round, I pick Big Country - The Crossing in the category 1981-85.
If your only recollection of Big Country is guys riding across Scotland on atvs then you need to give another listen to the whole album. Rolling Stone's description of the album: "Here's a big-noise guitar band from Britain that blows the knobs off all the synth-pop diddlers and fake-funk frauds who are cluttering up the charts these days. "
(more later when i have access to Youtube/allmusic/etc)
