Five Albums from the 1980s that are worth a new listen

Here they are, with one line from one song.

Alcohol is your yoga baby. - Love and Rockets, "Express," 1986

She doesn't have anything you want to steal / well, nothing you can touch. - Psychedelic Furs, "Talk Talk Talk," 1981

Brothers and sisters play chinese whispers. - Depeche Mode, "Construction Time Again," 1983

Your father's father's father tried / erased the parts he didn't like. - R.E.M., "Life's Rich Pageant," 1986

It's a red sky tonight. - New Order, "Power, Corruption & Lies," 1983

And here are the five songs in no particular order--as a bonus quiz see if you can match the song to the line.

We All Stand
Pretty in Pink
Cuyohoga
Yin and Yang and the Flower Pot Man
Told You So
