I like his later stuff, but imho nothing he's done since can touch his first three, My Aim is True, This Year's Model, or Armed Forces - those were tremendous. Starting with Get Happy in 1980, he consciously took himself out of the new wave pop mainstream and went niche-y, and I don't think he's ever completely come back from that (I don't know if he wanted to). They've all been re-released recently by Rhino with a lot of bonus tracks, live, outtakes, etc., definitely worth picking up.
