King Crimson - Discipline
Best of the 80s 15/1000
"This is a dangerous place."
Itchy, scratchy post-punk art rock for pre-Giuliani New York. A hymn to vanished Time Square sleaze and menace.

XTC - Skylarking
Best of the 80s 89/1000
Melodic wing of post-punk as it slowly morphs into neo-psychedelia and then college, alt, and indie rock. The sound of 1000 raided Hi-Fi shops. Holy kitsch.
