1982

The year 1982 already starts to show signs of approaching 1970's. Most of the bands are somehow connected to the post-punk movement and new wave. The sounds are dark and you can hear industrial coldness in there. On the other hand few bands show upbeat melodies in the weird mixture of punk, ska and reggae, which was back then favoured amongst skinheads (mostly not like skinheads today). Some people may be outraged that I didn't add Michael Jackson's Thriller on this list. I understand that that album is one of the most important albums ever when you look at things from objective perspective. I don't really listen to Jacko's music personally though and that was my reason to leave it off the list even though some of the songs on it are fairly good. But anyway, here's the list. I guess people who enjoy experimental sounds and cold melancholia, as well as great bass-lines are going to like this list.
