Essential for what reason? There are undoubtedly many records that are essential because they have marked a path that did not exist at that time. Synth Pop at the beginning of the 80's was to be discovered, to experiment sounds that were unknown until then. Undoubtedly the list you propose is very valid, I'm sure there are many missing but as only 10 have to be included it doesn't leave room to go deeper into the subject.
I'm making my own, I'll show it to you soon, I'm sure we agree on something, but what we agree on without a doubt is that that era will never be repeated, it was something miraculous that we were able to enjoy.

Kind regards, thank you for opening this interesting topic of debate.
