Back in spring of 1982

I think your memories are off a little date-wise. Bowie's Let's Dance was released in 1983 and Peter Gabriel's Security was released in late 1982.

Martha Quinn

I'm still in love with her.

That's true! It must have been "Ashes To Ashes" then, because I clearly remember Bowie that night.
"Shock The Monkey" must have been on the first recorded VHS tape of MTV I got my hands on, probably a year later.

My memory is all fucked up too and I have to look this shit up. I could have sworn Security came out in 1984, and it was probably my favorite album of the 80s.
