Two 80's bands really stand out in my mind as influences for many others to come throughout the 80's, 90's and beyond. I remember when both of their debut albums came out in 1980, hearing cuts from each played on a local college radio station, (the only radio stations willing to play newer "underground/alternative" music at that time), being blown away by what I heard and going out and buying both albums as a result (still have them.) The music of both bands stood apart from everything else I can recall at that time and both were significant influences on so many bands to follow.


Wipers - Is This Real? (1980)

The Wipers debut album was released in January of 1980.

And...


Killing Joke - Killing Joke (1980)

Killing Joke's debut album was released in September of 1980.
