Ok not sure this will work but going to give it a try. Submit by May 29

Eric and I are of similar ages (although he is considerably OLDER ). Both of us grew up in the 80's. Through various Walri we recognized how divergent our musical tastes really are.

Sheep. We have listed 15 records...many from the 80's. 5 of them are among Eric's favorites, 5 of them are among Slim's favorites and 5 of them are random well received records of that era.

Just send us a list of who you think identified this record as their favorite. That's it.

Scoring Standard SHEEP scoring except incorrect answers will receive negative points. Example: 5 get the answer correct and 3 get it wrong. Points will be 5 for the correct answers and -3 for the incorrect answers.

Just send entries to Eric AND I in order listing it as either Slim, Eric or Rando.

Here are the records:

Go Gos Beauty and the Beat
Tears For Fears Songs From The Big Chair
Messenjah Rock You High
David Bowie Let's Dance
Peter Gabriel So
Enigma MCMXC a.D.
The Cars The Cars
Thomas Dolby & Cherry Bomb Howard the Duck Soundtrack
Depeche Mode Music For the Masses
Sweet Desolation Blvd
The Replacements Let It Be
Crowded House Crowded House
U2 Boy
The Smithereens 11
OMD Junk Culture
