Wasinski 
"Irk the purists!
Made strictly according to a self-inflected "just one record per band"-rule, which sadly means just one Residents or The Spits record in the chart:)"
Chart and comments originally made in 2011-2012. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now, doh! I wish.

This is so good. "Here Come the Warm Jets", "Another Green World" and "Before and After Science" should also be mentioned as some of the best albums ever recorded. Several of his more ambient records are also close to god.

Love hurts. Punk rocks greatest "singles band" should of course be listened to on 7", but this 12" has every one of them is collected. And that ain't bad either.

Just listen. Evening Over Rooftops could be the greatest song of the 70's. (actually, i like "Inside out" as an album better, but don't tell)

Mick Harris & Nic Bullen (both ex-Napalm Death) go dub. Heavy dub. Scorn has released lots of fantastic records, "Collossus" (1993) and "List of takers" (2004) are good examples.
