- Joy Division- Closer (Factory, 1980) Released two months after the suicide of lead singer Ian Curtis, Closer is a far more somber affair than the explosive Unknown Pleasures.
- Bauhaus- Mask (Beggars Banquet, 1981) Just a few years into their career, Bauhaus channeled their love of Bowie and Bolan into a string of incendiary singles and landmark LP In the Flat Field.
- Siouxsie & the Banshees- Juju (Polydor, 1981) Juju, the fourth studio album from Siouxsie & the Banshees, is considered by many to the band’s finest work, with very good reason.
