Here’s the idea: Instead of doing regular Signifying Nothing podcasts this summer, I thought a cool idea would be to do podcasts chronicling the famous Top 100 Records of the Eighties that Pushead did many years ago. If people like this, I’d love to try it with various specific record labels too.
Twenty songs for each. I think this will be cool.
- Discharge-War’s No Fairy Tale
- Society System DeControl-Get It Away
- Subhumans-Parasites
- Minor Threat-Bottled Violence
- Bad Brains-The Regulator
- True Sounds of Liberty-Abolish Government/Silent Majority
- Disorder-Violent Crime
- Rudimentary Peni-Black President
- Jerry’s Kids-Raise The Curtain
- Anti Sect-Channel Zero Reality
- Gism-Death, Agonies, & Screams
- Faith-You’re X’d
- DYS-More Than Fashion
- Cockney Rejects-Bad Man
- State of Alert-Disease
- Sick of it All-Pete’s Sake
- Necros-Youth Camp
- Adolescents-Democracy
- The FU’s-Peer Police
- Antidote-Zero Mentality
Hi,
Just downloaded this episode after seeing your post on the Livewire Records board. I remember seeing Pushead’s Top 100 of the 80’s in Thrasher Magazine and being hugely stoked and impacted by it. I clipped it out and carried it around with me, trying to find the records. Turned out they didn’t sell most of it at Strawberries.
Also, I remember Pushead listing Passport’s _Infinity Machine_ and Genesis _The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway_ as “desert island discs” in a Thrasher interview, which led me to seek out those albums.
Looking forward to checking it out! Thanks! -JP
