Good god, it's like a wrestling tag-team of suck. I deeply appreciate the fact, though, that there was a record label going big time with the name 'Grunt'

Now you know how Greil Marcus must have felt looking back in 1973 at charts from 1955.

Couple of head-slapping points I had, merely as a result of perusing the tracklist:
-P.S.K. - what a way to start (but what does it mean??)
-Jesus & Mary Chain in 1985 = In -FUCKING -sane. Always loved them, but I seriously need to personally reevaluate just what those two were up to. I can't get my head round the fact that their shit was birthed side-by-side with "Miami Vice Theme" and "Neutron Dance" (love both those cuts, btw; but the point is how oblivious I was to any kind of underground at that point). It's projects like these CDRs - which kinda force these introductions between strange bedfellows and afford the opportunity for reevaluation - which reinforces my love of music.
- It always seemed like that darn Van Halen breakup came later, for some reason. Yes, I realize the last album was called 1984; but shit, it always felt like classic Van Halen was with us for a greater portion of the 80's.... Man, it's hard to imagine that Roth solo cut sitting side-by-side with something like "Take On Me" (one of my favoritest songs EVER; yes, I still own the picture sleeve 45 of the fucker I bought back in '85), but I guess that's my own selective memory at work.
- 2 Live Crew's "We Want Some Pussy"? Haha! I can't believe that thing came out that early.
- It's weird too cos Cult's "She Sells Sanctuary" seems so nascent "alternative" (and thereby really kinda later 90s); did that fuckin thing really come out in '85??
I think the main thing I come away with, is how much amazing music was made by heroes of mine seemingly oblivious to each other. Like, many tracks on that comp are burned in my branebox. Compiled together like that it strikes me how disparate everything was in those days; my knee-jerk response is to think of all the prominent pop crap I loved so dearly. Nice one.

For some reason, a young Mr. Diamond really enjoyed the spectacle of a balding Phil Collins keeping his arms really close to his chest whilst he danced in front of a microphone. But christ did that groove EXPLODE out of the speakers on "Friday Night Videos".
