Paul, if you weren't totally traumatized by Kollaps, try Neubauten's newer albums such as Perpetuum Mobile or Alles Wieder Offen. They're much more musical, or even poppy. 
Thanks! After being traumatised by the sound of Kollaps, I knew Neubauten couldn't possibly get any "worse", so they can only get better from hereon in. Smile

That was not to tease you, Sir Paul, but to give the authors of 1001 Albums the credit they deserve afterall - when looking at it inter-subjectively. Tongue

Motorhead - it's a great live album, all the tracks amped up.

Only other ones on this list would be OMD & Siouxsie for me.

I don't know any of these. I was too busy going to Wawa to buy packs of baseball cards that year and trying to find new ways to clean my nose out without using my finger. Sorry, no vote this time. Beep Beep!

and
Siouxsie & the Banshees - Juju

Couldn't agree more. The first two albums in the poll are two of the worst albums I've ever heard, and Lemmy  sounds like he ate gravel for breakfast on No Sleep Till Hammersmith. Thumbs Down

No vote. 

I'm not surprised. The only album worth voting here from my point of view is OMD, but I can promise a better line-up in Part 2 with both Rush and ABBA and The Human League on the way. Thumbs Up

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

I can promise Part 2 of this 1981 poll will be much better. After all, it couldn't be much worse. Tongue
