Listened to this, too, and it’s a lock.

Tammy @mcsparkleface.bsky.social · 1d

Listened today. Contender for me, too.

Tammy @mcsparkleface.bsky.social · 3d

I thought that might be the case.

Tammy @mcsparkleface.bsky.social · 3d

Better get started. Lots to check out here ( and plenty I’m not familiar with).

Tammy @mcsparkleface.bsky.social · 3d

I like Hoodoo , from what I just sampled. Not sure about Cocteau Twins, as I can’t even make it through their biggest album. Usually pretty okay with The Waterboys and Cole. Don’t know the Sound. Will check them all!.

Don’t think she made it to the finals for the 80s. I hope she does better this time around.

Tammy @mcsparkleface.bsky.social · 5d

I had a lot of REM in the 80s. I don’t hate them but I don’t put them on much anymore. I grew out of them.

Tammy @mcsparkleface.bsky.social · 5d

They were striving for the sound of the future and ended up with music that is very dated.

Tammy @mcsparkleface.bsky.social · 5d

Holy smokes. That’s a massive list. Laurie Anderson’s Big Science is weird and wonderful. I also really enjoy Los Angekes by X.

Tammy @mcsparkleface.bsky.social · 5d

Thank you!

Tammy @mcsparkleface.bsky.social · 5d

I did find Metallica, Ozzy, Killing Joke, and Lauper in my CDs and the pretenders and The The in my records.

Tammy @mcsparkleface.bsky.social · 5d

I don’t like the Smiths at all, but I love the Femmes. Where is your list? I could use some pointers.

Tammy @mcsparkleface.bsky.social · 5d

Pretty sure this will make my list!

Tammy @mcsparkleface.bsky.social · 5d

A certainty for my 5.

Tammy @mcsparkleface.bsky.social · 5d

Looked through the records for #5DebutAlbums8084 and came up with this comical mix. I have Boy and Murmur on cassette and From Her to Eternity, She’s So UnusuAl, and Violent Femmes on CD. I might find a few others but the early 80s are not my bag. Suggestions are welcome!

Tammy @mcsparkleface.bsky.social · 5d

Another musical blind spot for me. This is going to be rough. Violent Femmes will be contenders but most 80s music leaves me cold! I’ll try to check out your picks!

Tammy @mcsparkleface.bsky.social · 7d

0ne in isn’t too bad!

Tammy @mcsparkleface.bsky.social · 7d

So glad Mass Romantic made it in, though I’m sure you’re sad about The Sleepy Jackson, Rich. That list looks pretty solid.

Tammy @mcsparkleface.bsky.social · 8d

Why did it correct Sleepy to Leroy?

Tammy @mcsparkleface.bsky.social · 8d

Nice picks. I liked Leroy Jackson and Ed a lot. I didn’t get to the other 3 in full! Good job!

Tammy @mcsparkleface.bsky.social · 8d

Interesting!

Tammy @mcsparkleface.bsky.social · 8d

#3 and #4 if I'm guessing. Lift to Experience is weird and kind of Jesus-y (from what I hear but I never listen to lyrics), but it works for me. And it's 134 minutes. I broke every rule on my picks.

Tammy @mcsparkleface.bsky.social · 8d

Just put my picks in. Weird list from me.

Tammy @mcsparkleface.bsky.social · 8d

That is the right way to go. Great cover. I have the CD but not the record.

Tammy @mcsparkleface.bsky.social · 8d
