I wondered where we would end up next  

In 1986 I was actually listening to this

I was identifying music not just as something on the radio or something played at silly birthday parties, or something that groups of girls at school were into, but something else entirely. The zeitgeist had arrived for young beerwolf 

My parents and anyone 20 years older than me absolutely hated it. Which suited me perfectly fine

YES!!!

I'm also going for:

Skinny Puppy - The Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse

This Mortal Coil - Filigree & Shadow

Zeco Pagodinho - Zeco Pagodinho

Pata Negra - Blues de la Frontera

quite amazing really. those two tracks i had never heard before.

the 80s are by far my favorite musical era right now.

Slayer! I think the riff that comes in at 1:38 is possibly the funkiest thing I have ever encountered in a heavy metal song

At one point I actually wanted to make an electronic cover of this called "Acid of Death" with the drums programmed on my TR-707 and the guitar parts played on 303's

Also this.

definitly the best slayer album for me. the best metal album ive ever heard!

I always preferred Seasons In The Abyss and South Of Heaven to Reign In Blood, probably because they are more 'metal' influenced whereas RIB having more of a hardcore punk influence. Then of course after maybe 10 years, I saw the the light. But luckily first I didn't need to DIE!!!!!!!

Apart from the 2 famous tracks that bookend it, this track is up there. Just love that groove in the spiralling super fast riffs and Araya fast paced but menacing vocals. That was one of the biggest and instant things I loved about Slayer was Toms vocals. How many times has that happened when you heard a band for the first time and you’d pray when the vocals appeared it wasn’t gonna instantly kill the vibe! Pretty sure that’s why I never really liked Anthrax. Joey Belladonna singing sucked!! And couldn’t hold a candle to mighty Tom Araya. Imo.

Yes, this track is great too! The slower, groovier side of Slayer rocks and Seasons In The Abyss and South Of Heaven are definitely up there among the classics. I Also preferred Tom Arayas barking punk-vocal style to Belladonnas classic metal hero singing style, urgh - the John Bush era Anthrax is the only thing I really bothered listened to of theirs.

Concept: your you're living in 1986. what the **&& do you listen to?

I was 5 this is hard, probably Mc hammer and vanilla ice lol those guys EMF, still like those 2 songs, I believe and unbelievable... don't remember if I was already into G'n'R... stuff from my parents like queen, Pink Floyd, dire straits... Metallica? Bon Jovi? everybody was into U2 but I didn't really like it that much... basically the worst music of that era... I think I need to shift this like 2 or 3 years forward...
