Cool list, but no Number Of The Beast or Screaming For Vengeance?
Also, I'm terrible at remembering what albums I like came out in a given year, so most of my posts have been off the cuff and focused on stuff not already mentioned. |

Okay; the yearly top twenty lists on Metalstorm are a good, quick reference point for Metal records, if you want: https://metalstorm.net/bands/albums_...lbum_year=1982
I'd assumed Restless and Wild was '83, that would make my list. Happy to show love for Under the Blade, Metal on Metal and Iron Fist, even if I've spent less time with them. |
I don't have much for this year:
Donald Fagen - The Nightfly King Crimson - Beat Rush - Signals Sparks - Angst in My Pants As for release dates, Rate Your Music is my go-to website. |
Felt - Crumbling the Anti Septic Beauty
Orange Juice - You Can't Hide Your Love Forever The Fall - Hex Endunctuon Hour Richard and Linda Thompson - Shoot Out the Lights Iron Maiden. - The Number of the Beast Fun Boy Three - s/t Birthday Party - Junkyard Fear - The Record Fleetwood Mac - Mirage The Roche's - Keep on Doing Dexys midnight Runners - Too Rye Aye Kate Bush - The Dreaming Psychedelic Furs - Forever Now Captain Beefheart - Ice Cream for Crow Donald Fagan - The Nightfly Prince - 1999 Flipper Generic Angry Samoans - Back from Samoa Bad Brains - Bad Brains Gun Club - Miami Descendents - Milo Goes to College Gang of Four - Songs of the Free Mission of Burma - Vs Cabaret Voltaire- 2 x 45 |
Re: Favourite Albums of 1982?
Without much thinking and in no particular order...
Venom - Black Metal Magnum - Chase the Dragon Plasmatics - Coup d'Etat Manowar - Battle Hymns Probably forgetting something good but anyway. |
Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five - The Message
The Time - What Time Is It? Duran Duran - Rio The Name of This Band is The Talking Heads Roxy Music - Avalon Marvin Gaye - Midnight Love Michael Jackson - Thriller Miles Davis - We Want Miles Dream Syndicate - Days of Wine and Roses Lou Reed - The Blue Mask Toto IV (shut up) Joe Jackson - Night and Day Peter Gabriel - (Security) Lionel Richie Chaka Khan Flipper - Generic Album Gap Band IV Gregory Isaacs - Night Nurse REM - Chronic Town John Cale - Music for a New Society (for crumbs) |

I didn't even see that on the list I was looking through. Erg. The true way to my heart would be to include the even more annoying third album by the Roches, because sometimes that is too over bearingly Theater-Nerd, even for me. But I'll accept this John Cale olive branch, regardless. I should have probably included Midnight Love as well as Chronic Town, because I do like both of those. But they are also records that have become a little lost in my collection, so I rarely ever play them. So I kept them off because of my comparative unfamiliarity. Obviously Thriller is a great album, but I'm making a point through its omission. The point being 'yawn'. |

Re: Favourite Albums of 1982?
One of these days I should give 80's Miles Davis a shot. But I've just heard so many terrible terrible things.

I've been trying to figure out picks among those folks who don't show up on common release lists, like Negativland, Nurse With Wound and some of those NY No Wave folks like John Zorn, Elliott Sharp and Rhys Chatham. I probably could have chosen Zorn's Archery, the first Negativland or NWW's Merzbild Schwet, but I feel like that may require me to push up my glasses. Maybe later on, I'll have to include things like Escape From Noise, Helter Stupid, Spiral Insana, Big Gundown and Naked City when we get to them.

There's been other EPs from Minutemen, Dead Kennedys, Sonic Youth that I would have considered possibly. Slates and Lesson No. 1 were also EP cheats. *shrug* I mean, I understand. But sometimes I feel like starting something. I'm a vegetable. I'm a vegtebwawawa. I think there are a lot of smaller records I have overlooked, because I'm just scanning Wikipedia lists for the applicable years. I just bought Merzbild Schwet maybe a month ago. It was the first Nurse With Wound I've come across and haven't given it more than a couple of background listens. Still acclimatizing. Slates is the one early Fall album I can't find. Which is a drag because I can't move on to buying there later, ****tier albums until I shore up the terrible beginnings. |
