Hey - aren't most of those songs there 1981?

I think Ghost Town was released in 1982

Ah, I had miss-labeled my lists - '80 was labeled as '81 and vice-versa. I guess that's poetic justice since I gave Moonbeam a hard time over calling Be My Baby a Motown track.

This should be the correct list:
1) Sleeping Gas - Teardrop Explodes
2) New Puritan - The Fall
3) poptones - Public Image Limited
4) Cold Love - Donna Summer
5) Brass in Pocket - Pretenders
6) Reasons To Be Cheerful - Ian Dury
7) Crazy Rhythms - Feelies
8 ) Juke Box Baby - Alan Vega
9) Up The Junction - Squeeze
10) A Message to You Rudy - Specials
11 ) Cruel to be Kind - Nick Lowe
12 ) Girls Talk - Dave Edmunds
13 ) Geno - Dexy's Midnight Runners
14 ) The Boy With Perpetual Nervousness - The Feelies
15 ) Uptown - Prince
16 ) Song From Under the Floorboards - Magazine
17 ) Reward - Teardrop Explodes
18 ) People Who Died - Jim Carroll
19) Loveless Love - Feelies
20) Generals and Majors - XTC
21) C'n'C - S Mithering - The Fall
22) I Got You - Split Enz
23) Enola Gay - Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
24) Does It Really Happen - Yes
25) Barefoot Rock - The Blasters
