Hey, have you checked out the Minutemen? Their album Double Nickels on the Dime could be up your alley

My first chart......please leave comments and let me know what you think. I am trying to get up to level 5, so I can get access to doing more than this 1 chart. I have loved this community for awhile now, and am happy to finally be a contributor and not just a lurker. PLEASE NOTE: These are in order by "If I had these 40 albums on a shelf, this is the order I would listen to them in, from favorite to not my favorite."
