PRELIMINARY until someone invokes my name in this thread after the official deadline

The deadline is 17th of May 2018.

It's a year and 4 days over the deadline.

4. Cocteau Twins - Head Over Heals

1. Cocteau Twins- Head Over Heals

Looks like both of y'all are huffing the same shit. When I looked back at oblivious' post I thought maybe I was wrong - maybe they spell it that way as a pun, but nope.

I need more votes, from any of the following:
@Terasophe
@Krow
@dwellerINTHEdark
@jimmy101
@Einherjar86
@zabu of nΩd
@Slayed Necros
@challenge_everything
@Somethingface
@no country for old wainds
@Serjeant Grumbles

Or anyone else whom I didn't tag but are very much welcome to vote.

Haven't really listened to much non-Metal from 1983 to be honest. I'll give you a few that I like:

1. Echo & the Bunnymen - Porcupine
2. Cabaret Voltaire - The Crackdown
3. Swans - Filth
4. G.I.S.M - Detestation
5. Chaos UK - Chaos UK
6. Wipers - Over the Edge
7. R.E.M - Murmur
8. Bad Brains - Rock for Light

Looking at the RYM charts there is heaps I'd probably like from this year, I've just never gotten around to it and unfortunately didn't have enough time to spend this month.

You ever check out much Minutemen or Hüsker Dü man?

 

[jimmy101]

Can't say that I have, no.

 

[CiG]

Pretty surprised, especially the Minutemen, knowing what kind of music you like/play. Funky/bassy post-hardcore:

 

[jimmy101]

Cool. Yeah, I've heard of them. Just never seeked out their stuff.

 

[CiG]

You should definitely take a dip sometime, I have a feeling you'll end up liking them a lot.

 

[Krow]

I’ll submit a list. Bear with me because my laptop is caput until my order from Lenovo arrives.

1. John Carpenter - Halloween 3: Season of the Witch

That's quality bro. Love how they get really weird every now & then.

Double Nickels on the Dime is even more diverse and weird, and above all fun.
