1980:


1. Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables


Some of the best lyrics to grace hardcore punk, if not the best. Jello Biafra's vocal delivery is perfect, and quite reminiscent of Tom Lehrer's sarcastic political songs from years before. Also, a fantastic cover of 'Viva Las Vegas'.

2. Talking Heads - Remain in Light
3. The Feelies - Crazy Rhythms
4. The Cramps - Songs the Lord Taught Us
5. Joy Division - Closer
