    yes you did. but that doesn't change the fact that bleach was six months old when the 90s rocked around. you wanted hidden gold, i gave you some.
    but this is purely subjective of course.


    That is hardly hidden is it? Gold it is though.

    I looked at this thread hoping to find some hidden gold, seeing your list I'm thinking never gonna happen. The eighties are pretty much full of shit music.

    you may be right my friend. I've got to believe there is some good stuff out there though. Hence my reason for starting this thread.

    People forget what a great band MIDNIGHT OIL were. From Austarlia. I saw them many times and they were amazing . Diesel and Dust is essential on any 80's list

    Midnight Oil is one of the greatest hits CD's I have, so they didn't make the list, but I agree with you. Great band. I had Diesel and Dust on cassette back in the day and played the hell out of it. Good album. i remember playing that and Rattle & Hum a lot back in Jr. High. Need to pick it up on CD and it would probably be in my top 10 for the decade. Most of their other records came out in the 90's to my knowledge. Do they have another one from the 80's that's any good besides D&D?

    I think Bob Dylan's Oh Mercy was one of the better albums of the 80's along with many of the others mentioned already. The Clash - Sandinista should definitely be somewhere too and is a must have IMO.

    How about your collections? Are they especially heavy on any one period?

    Most of my records are probably from the 90's or 00's, which makes sense because that was the majority of my being alive. I've got some stuff from the 70's, but I still have a decent amount of 80's albums, although not so many as some of the other decades.

    I've heard good things about Sandinista, but I've not heard a single note of the actual record. I'll have to look into that one.

    Husker Du - Candy Apple Grey
    Bob Mould - Workbook
    Dinosaur Jr - You're Living All Over Me
    Black Flag - Damaged
    Bad Religion - Suffer
    Camper Van Beethoven - Key Lime Pie
    Ministry - The Land of Rape and Honey
