Def Leppard, Pyromania
Quiet Riot, Metal Health
Cyndi Lauper, She's So Unusual
Michael Jackson, Thriller
? Men At Work, Business As Usual

Of those, I only owned "Pyromania" at the time. I had 45s of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and "Down Under", and I remember roller-skating to MJ songs. I now have "Metal Health" on CD.
