04.15.21 | Meat Puppets and Julian Cope slight beneficiaries of me wanting to give shouts out to artists I like a lot if I can find space, Prince and David Sylvian might feel a bit peeved about that as they were very close to taking those spots |

04.15.21 | "One of the weakest of the '80s so far"
God damn do I disagree! Good list though! |

04.15.21 | Thanks Caliggy, saw your length of your runners up and thought you might have selected everything available this time ;) |

04.15.21 | Yeah I won't lie 1984 has to be one of my favorite years in music ever. Just so much stuff to hang on to. Also I'm surprised Talk Talk didn't make the Top 10. Also another similar album rec with REM but a different song. For whom the Bell Tolls is a great song but I still got mad bias for Escape. |

04.15.21 | The intro to 'For Whom' is the most iconic so for that reason it makes it, the start of that song at full volume still gets me going - Lars getting into that groove ha
A lot of great cuts on that album - 'Escape', but also 'Fade to Black', 'Creeping Death', title track, the opener. Just a classic album really, even the instrumental is good. |

04.15.21 | I'll enjoy seeing you tackle 83. A year I did not like very much. |
DoofDoof
04.15.21 | yeah currently it's a weird mix, about the same quality as '84 - I'm much happier '86-'89 than '81 to '85 |

04.15.21 | Of course 3 is 1 closely followed by Spear of Destiny - Liberator |

04.15.21 | Our epic battle got overshadowed by Sowing's alb list. R.I.P. |

04.16.21 | Sowing still the biggest draw on sput ye - “oh look he picked American Idiot unironically {swoon}” |
CaliggyJack
04.16.21 | And people always pretend they hate him unironically.
"oh look he picked American Idiot unironically {swoon}"
Ok but AI is still 5/5 baller

Drifter
04.20.21 | One day this love will all blow over
Time for leaving the parade
Is there a place in this city
A place to always feel this way
And hey, there's a red car in the fountain
Tinseltown in the rain, all men and women
Here we are, caught up in this big rhythm
Do I love you? Yes, I love you
Will we always be happy go lucky?
Do I love you? Yes, I love you
But it's easy come and it's easy go
All this talking is only bravado |
