So yeah, ditto to their inclusion on the previous list. Here's what WASN'T on the last list, but SHOULD HAVE been. Oh yeah, and only one album by each artist (SORRY METALLICA), and no compilations that aren't primarily material recorded in the 80's.
Captain Beefheart - Doc at the Radar Station (1980)weirdo rock
read the rest!
Kraftwerk - Computer World (1981)bleeps and bloops, melodies for Coldplay to steal
Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - The Message (1982)electro, early hip-hop
Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast (1982)NWOBHM, galloping beats, killer guitars, running to the hills
Metallica - Kill 'Em All (1983)party metal, drinking, inventing being the best metal band
Slayer - Show No Mercy (1983)shredding, killing, destroying, also being the best metal band
Husker Du - Zen Arcade (1984)bad singing, really thin guitars, songs I like
Possessed - Seven Churches (1985)nasty sounding metal, the birth of death metal
Big Black - Atomizer (1986)bad ass misanthropic nerds
Guns N' Roses - Appetite for Destruction (1987)eh maybe not really good enough for this list but what the hell why not
The Dead C - DR503 (1988)surprisingly tuneful experimental noise
Death - Leprosy (1988)some of the best death metal of all time
Dinosaur Jr. - Bug (1988)not sure how this one didn't make your list, dude
EPMD - Strictly Business (1988)hella chill
My Bloody Valentine - Isn't Anything (1988)frequently overlooked
Atheist - Piece of Time (1989)killer thrash and death metal, preview of better things to come
Minor Threat - Complete Discography (1989)being self-righteous, future Nike ad
Rapeman - Two Nuns and a Pack Mule (1989)ha ha ha ha
you two ol' so in so's . . .
ReplyDeletei have an inkling there could be even MORE additions to this list...what happened to geologist john?
geologist jon is seeing the world! and jamming to pan flute music.
ReplyDeleteso here goes, almost all of those albums on your list were in high consideration for my list, the only one i personally missed was rapeman, it would have been on my list if i remembered, the rest just didnt make the cut. some of them i havent heard yet and need to: that athiest album, possessed, and the grandmaster flash album. and some i really have never been able to wrap my head around: the dinosaur jr album and the iron maiden album. but yeah i did consider all those albums
ReplyDeletebut why? why leave off beefheart, kraftwerk, my bloody valentine? is it because you think they have stronger albums? I mean, just because Isn't Anything isn't Loveless, it doesn't mean its not a great album and one of the best to come out in the 80's.
ReplyDeleteyeah with some of them i felt it would be better just to represent their 70s work but some of the albums i just didnt feel like putting on the list, i dunno why,
ReplyDeleteon a different note for some reason i am really digging this metal band called destroyer 666
I can't tell you how pleased I am for the rapeman addition. Also the description is perfect!
