In chronological order.

It's weighted by order. You're supposed to put your favorite at #1.

You should ask Nat to formulate a scoring system for this like he did for the End Of Year lists.

>he doesn't even have 20 album from the 80's

Well I'd definitely have over 20 if I was just rating every 80's album I had, but these are my absolute favorites from the 80's. And he said we could included some non-metal artists, so I though DK was fair game.

He said Minor Threat and Black Flag are pushing it.

[slapguitarer]

Then I'll push it.
