I realize I'm answering late, but if you want verisimilitude, when this happened to me at around this time and around this age, my song for it was "Please Do Not Go" by the Violent Femmes off their self-titled 1983 debut. It's an American record, so it may have been technically an import, but "Blister in the Sun" was a big enough deal that I would expect it to be available in record stores or through the grapevine.
