[kj] Top 10 and the "throwback" era

[Pssyche]

Thanks for that - it makes sense I guess - it's just when you've read the
book it does seem like a massive omission.
I was heavily into the DK's but didn't know what 'hardcore' was - they were
just known as an American punk band here - I only became aware of hardcore
though the film 'Repo Man' and the soundtrack - it got me into Suicidal etc
Cheers
