 | Sports by Huey Lewis & the News
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $4.65 Little known fact: the heart of rock and roll is being kept alive in a vat of EZ-Cheez in a dank basement somewhere near Duluth, MN. But yes, it's still beating.

 | Music from the Motion Picture "Purple Rain" by Prince & the Revolution
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $2.99 My parents used to have an old player piano that had a metal tab on it that would, when plucked, make the exact sound that Prince makes at the beginning of "When Doves Cry". This is why you should listen to this album. Er. Yeah.

 | Freedom of Choice by Devo
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $3.55 If you want to find out what life was like in the USA in 1980, just watch the video for "Whip It" on YouTube. Your parents were watching this on a brand new thing called MTV when they were 8. Honest.

 | Bat Out of Hell by Meat Loaf
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $3.47 I gained a whole new appreciation for baseball the first time I heard "Paradise By the Dashboard Light". Incidentally, I once threatened to quit a band if we did a cover of that song.

 | 1984 by Van Halen
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $4.83 Take my advice: just skip the first track. Nobody really needs to hear "Jump" again. Ever. Skip to "Panama" or "Hot for Teacher". Back in the '80s, everybody could rock like that. And we all walked to school in the RAIN and SNOW, UPHILL BOTH WAYS!!! AND WE LIKED IT!

 | Appetite for Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $1.89 This album is the reason people still care what Axl Rose is working on. Some people. I guess. Anyway, it'll rock your patellae off.

 | He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper by DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince

|
 | This Is Spinal Tap by Spinal Tap
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $2.24 How much more black could it possibly be? None more. None more black. Except that digitally remastered black, if it's not done in doubly, it's really as black as... the other one.

 | Greatest Hits by Pat Benatar by Pat Benatar

|
 | Styx - Greatest Hits by Styx
Buy new: $10.97 / Used from: $4.99 My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain's IBM. Well, it was IBM, but then Steve decided that Intel was the way to go.

|
 | So by Peter Gabriel
Buy used from: $28.97 Peter Gabriel wants to be your sledge hammer, possibly for use in conjunction with fruit cake. If you've ever had fruit cake, you can probably relate.
