Holy shit that set of albums is heavy, sweaty, sexy delight!
And the singles are much the same - I mean damn! "Die Die My Darling"?!? Yes please! Also Skinny Puppy. That track makes me salivate like one. Just another great team.
I'll probably say more later. Mostly, wanted to help point out the correct answer.
(Ps no disrespect to that Shanespear/'04 team. It's sweet too! But yeah... Easy choice for
ME.) _________________ -Ryan
Despite that Mars Volta single making an otherwise awesome 2004 team into an intermediate 2004 team, it gets my vote
The Incredibles soundtrack is a really strange pick. It stands out, but I don't think it's truly that great of an asset to the team. There's no way I can go against Joanna Newsom, Masta Ace and that Mastodon record.
As much as I love that Robyn Hitchcock album, the rest of the 84 team doesn't entice me too much. It's a bit lacking in diversity too. I'll admit that I haven't heard the album by The Long Ryders, but judging by the cover, I don't really think I want to. _________________ Submit Your List for BEA's 2023 Film Poll!

I only know two of those 1984 albums (the Saint Vitus and the Hitchcock), but they're both excellent. Unfortunately, they're not as good as the three best records from that 2004 team (Leviathan, Milk-Eyed Mender, and the excellent Long Hot Summer - mad props for including the latter Shane). Neither singles team really does anything for me, but the 1984 team is a bit more interesting. Gonna give a listen to the remaining albums from 1984 at some point before I decide. That 2004 albums team is very strong, but not unbeatably so. Looking forward to hearing what those '84 records have to offer.
Any tips on which one I should go for first, in case I don't get around to all three? Y'know, the one you think I'd enjoy most? _________________ 2021 in full effect. Come drop me some recs. Y'all know what I like.

Hmmm. Hard to say since I think you in particular would dig all three if you give them a few spins. I think the album you NEED to hear the most is that Morbid Tales album especially with your recent love for metal. One of my favorite metal albums of all time and easily one of the most important metal releases of the 80s. Super influential for both black and death metal especially in Europe. It's primitive, raw and punk damaged metal. That Die Kreuzen album is a landmark for hardcore and is arguably the first post-hardcore album. It was a HUGE influence on bands like Refused, and it one of the few hardcore albums that takes the sound of Damaged-era Black Flag even further. Easily one of my favorite hardcore albums. There's really no way you won't love it with a few spins. Just too awesome. And then that Long Ryders LP is Grahm Parsons/Byrds/Beatles/Dylan inspired country rock that was a huge influence on bands like the Jayhawks and the burgeoning Alt Country scene in the early 90s. I think you will be underwhelmed by it on the first couple spins since it's nothing seemingly new under the sun but with time the catchy songcraft really takes over & now I'm addicted.

Gonna go with The Long Ryders first. Had no idea that Sid Griffin from the excellent Coal Porters had a previous band. He's an absolute badman. Seen him live a few times (with the Coal Porters) and he really is excellent. Not entirely sure why I've never carried out even the most basic research before, for if I had I'd be familiar with The Long Ryders by now. But yeah, sticking that on now. Got the others downloaded, so will get around to them in the coming days. _________________ 2021 in full effect. Come drop me some recs. Y'all know what I like.
