Siouxsie & the Banshees - Juju for me. Great year really. But I don't expect to see many of my reasons as to why I consider it a great year in the second poll either. |

None of these I find essential in any way, maybe Motorhead, but that's a live album.  No vote.

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

None... can't even bring myself to vote for Motorhead, because even at 15, I was never a fan... ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

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.

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.

That would be a choice between Brian Eno & David Byrne - My Life in the Bush of Ghosts and Siouxsie & the Banshees - Juju ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

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.

Motorhead - it's a great live album, all the tracks amped up. Only other ones on this list would be OMD & Siouxsie for me. ------------- Ian Host of the Post-Avant Jazzcore Happy Hour on Progrock.com https://podcasts.progrock.com/post-avant-jazzcore-happy-hour/ |

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.

I've put that godawful punk band on my black flag list, never to be listened to again, alongside Einsturzende Neubauten, who sound equally awful to my ears, even if I listen to them inter-subjectively.

Gosh! I know it must be a poor poll when you can't find anything worth voting for.

Einstürzende Neubauten - Kollaps. Not my favourite from them (the following two are) but still a very good listening when I need it rough. 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.
