... like Pere Ubu reforming, as well as those you list:

>Youth, Big Black

Big Black! Now you are *talking*! Phenomenal. "Kerosene" and "Bad
Houses" were my favourite songs ever for a while (if you know what I
mean).

On a somewhat less abrasive note, I actually really, really like Talking
Heads' output up until Stop Making Sense, then it goes dramatically
downhill for the most part (hated "Road to Nowhere" for example). But
"Remain In Light" would be in my top 10 albums of the 80s for sure.
