Suicide, Ramones, Iggy Pop, Sex Pistols and Hawkwind all gave songs from 1977. Alice Cooper goes high wire new wave in 1980. Peter Gabriel, King Crimson and Kate Bush illuminate with pop prog masterpieces. Nine Inch Nails fire up their pretty hate machine and Type O Negative are always ready for Halloween. Skinny Puppy gnaws on a bone while Gary Numan & Tubeway Army hang down in the park. Ministry share a sermon about thieves and The Lords Of The New Church remind you to open your eyes.
