Motorhead - The Wild Bunch of Rock and the only album worth voting for in the best of a bad bunch. I can promise a better line-up for Part 2 though.

| The Cure - Seventeen Seconds. Absolutely gorgeous album. Followed by the Cramps and AC/DC. |

AC/DC their best... ------------- 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 |

Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables Not because I'm very fond of this album, but it's the closest one. ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

Yes, we both drew the Ace of Spades, which is meant to be bad luck, but not this time though.

I can be suprised too, not least with this punkish Metal album.   ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

Melt. Yet another example that proves Paul shouldn't be rating albums. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

None. No Maiden or Sabs in that list, but I do have sympathy for Ace Of Spade. ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Voted for "Melt". I'll jus comment once on Paul's ratings. On the one hand, Paul attempts to "hear" and then rate every album from a list that's not his choosing. So. He sort of gives an album a chance. I don't know if he ever accounts for changes in his owm tastes. I am guessing on this but he probably keeps all his personal ratings stored in files, so some of these ratings are from his archives and we have no idea of how much or well he listened to any of these. On the other hand, he has admitted to sometimes doing only cursory listenings, and if it were me, I would not issue any ratings and just state my favorite or favorites. We all know Paul has certain types of music that he would rate higher than others, as we all do. He's rather predictable with an occasional surprise. |

I've only ever owned albums by two artists in this poll: Motorhead on vinyl and Peter Gabriel on CD, and as for the Dead Kennedys, they're one band I NEVER want to hear again before I die.

It makes a nice change to be criticised for underrating albums when I'm much more often accused of overrating albums. In my defence, I have listened to all of Peter Gabriel's albums in full and rated them all too, although I realise that seeing all of my Peter Gabriel album ratings listed together just makes them look ten times worse. 1977: Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel 1 (Car) - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEYB2FXKonXk9fWkKZzg1nB" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEYB2FXKoNXk9fWkKZzg1nB _ 1978: Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel 2 (Scratch) - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEZBGJUuzuxTSOFIlTCF7z9u" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEZBGJUuzuxTSOFIlTCF7z9u 1978: Peter Gabriel - Live at Rockpalast - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEY47wSeLfK4FjV6HHrJb_Rz" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEY47wSeLfK4FjV6HHrJb_Rz 1980: Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel 3 (Melt) - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEbRu6xBw8fY3Xat1KbZdqJw" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEbRu6xBw8fY3Xat1KbZdqJw 1982: Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel 4 (Security) - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEYTOF74bbT2RwZwQUf5jqpf" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEYTOF74bbT2RwZwQUf5jqpf 1983: Peter Gabriel - Plays Live - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEZtPvRL06CgSxaVkI2-yk0x" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEZtPvRL06CgSxaVkI2-yk0x 1985: Peter Gabriel - Birdy (soundtrack) - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEaC204apixnqNolE6Fy9UwZ" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEaC204apixnqNolE6Fy9UwZ 1986: Peter Gabriel - So - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEZ0AbdT4Z2g-vhT8LX6j1wh" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEZ0AbdT4Z2g-vhT8LX6j1wh 1987: Peter Gabriel - Live in Athens - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEZLiP55uBKZbpCpviU9u3FF" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEZLiP55uBKZbpCpviU9u3FF 1989: Peter Gabriel - Passion (soundtrack) - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEYfGmIinkpf7Ivicuuu69PS" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEYfGmIinkpf7Ivicuuu69PS 1992: Peter Gabriel - Us - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEaMx9XDN5qpF7BtGB18cn0s" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEaMx9XDN5qpF7BtGB18cn0s 1994: Peter Gabriel - Secret World Live - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEbYyz8vRl91l-zc2jyLWsMY" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEbYyz8vRl91l-zc2jyLWsMY 2000: Peter Gabriel - OVO (soundtrack) - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEbwGlliB7hnlc3Y_pN5YwGn" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEbwGlliB7hnlc3Y_pN5YwGn 2002: Peter Gabriel - Long Walk Home (soundtrack) - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEbR-0E9H7iVnTgLf-vg3S9c" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEbR-0E9H7iVnTgLf-vg3S9c 2002: Peter Gabriel - Up - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEYBF6PBdXDs_tBbPg44Q0WX" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEYBF6PBdXDs_tBbPg44Q0WX 2008: Peter Gabriel with Various Artists - Big Blue Ball - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEYOXfbfTgoqsfQgNiOR4bkb" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEYOXfbfTgoqsfQgNiOR4bkb 2010: Peter Gabriel - Scratch My Back - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEYH2_XR6Qf9606B9wV3v-6n" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEYH2_XR6Qf9606B9wV3v-6n 2011: Peter Gabriel - New Blood - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEaoKVprRCzhAnTWeBY6nU_E" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEaoKVprRCzhAnTWeBY6nU_E 2014: Peter Gabriel - Back to Front: Live in London - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEZAC5ffYCkPrCtGhGR5MnB6" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEZAC5ffYCkPrCtGhGR5MnB6 2019: Peter Gabriel - Growing Up Live - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEa4A5uBB8IeRuiQxhjhnqW2" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEa4A5uBB8IeRuiQxhjhnqW2 |
