I guess you know more than just those three - and that's exactly why I put the limit on. ;)
I can hardly wait until the limit is off. I'm just itching to answer them all ;D

Category two is the only one that has stuff I know!
20. John Cougar Mellencamp
26. Moody Blues
29. Tracey Ullman
At least there's something for everyone then. :) And those are all correct, of course.

In Countdown style I'll go one from the bottom row:
#3 is OMD
....and two from the middle row:
#18 The Smiths
#19 Nik Kershaw
...reached my limit there but I don't know any of the remaining hard ones anyway!

I threw in some hints (tracks from the remaining albums) to help you along. Also raised the limit to 5.
And I've altered the title for #24, as it turned out I had it misspelt... :-[

36. Hai hai was the second solo album from Roger Hodgson (of Supertramp)
39. Perhaps is a 1984 album by The Associates. I love "Those First Impressions" :)

Hmmm... I'll take 2 more guesses, then
09: No not now/Valley girl/Envelopes
Frank Zappa?
22: Send in the clowns/Tomorrow/I need a man
The Eurythmics?
You're correct on the Frank Zappa album, but #22 isn't by the Eurythmics. It's a tricky one, I admit - the artist I'm looking for is a female singer. Well, really not much of a singer but still rather successful.

33: I sleep alone at night/After the fire/New generation
Roger Daltrey?
That's not right either, I'm afraid.
It is a male singer I'm looking for, I can give you that. He used to be half of a duo with a university degree... ::)

Hi again, hopefully I can clear up a few more...
#2. ABC - this was their much derided second album, but still included a few good tunes ('SOS' springs to mind...)
#7. Heaven 17
#11. Marillion (their live LP and the final one with Fish, if memory serves...)

Although these three are all correct, I can only credit you for two of those since you've exceeded the limit... :( Sorry.

Correct, Gambo!

That would be a very odd couple, I suppose... The artist for #24 is best known for his work with Buena Vista Social Club.

Now there's only one left. He was half of a duo with a university degree before his shortlived solo career. Both the duo and the singer are one hit wonders, with hits respectively in 1981 and 1984.
The only artist I can think of is Jim Diamond. I know he had an album called Double Crossed, and he was in the group PhD, but as a solo artist, he had two UK top 40's with "I Should Have Known Better" and "Hi Ho Silver". Both excellent songs :)
