1985
Hmm what to say about this year, other than saying I'm not as much into Hüsker Dü as a lot of people who like similar music. Misfits and Descendents were my two first punk loves. I like S.O.D.'s
Live at Budokan better than the studio album, but contextually this belongs on the 85 list. Lots of other good stuff this year like Volcano Suns, The Cure, Sonic Youth, Dead Kennedys, Megadeth, Anthrax, and even more things on my to-do list: New Order, Shriekback, The Chamelons, Psyche, Velvet Underground, Love and Rockets, Fuzztones, Dead Milkmen, Black Flag, Naked Raygun, and a handful of others.
