Personal favourites: 'Endless, Nameless' / The Wildhearts - from the fake-out beginning (don't turn the volume right up or you'll get a surprise) to the fade at the end, it's perfect to me. Joyously and gloriously noisy. 'Dreamweaver' / Sabbat - complex and clever thrash that gave young me a lot to think about; it's loosely based on a book about a mediaeval Christian missionary and the lyrics are incredibly dense, yet so skilfully done that you don't realise until you look at the lyric sheet and it's *huge*. 'Dopethrone' / Electric Wizard - for those bad mood days 'Mclusky Do Dallas' / mclusky - inventive and slightly surrealist lyrics, noisy guitars and a great drummer. 'Nothingface' / Voivod - still sounds like it was recorded five years from now despite being around 30 years old. Best description I can give is 'prog thrash' and that's not really very accurate. 'The Big Roar' / The Joy Formidable - noisy indie rock. Not going to win any awaawards for innovation but it's so well done. Like most people's favourites, these were mostly released when I was starting to develop my own taste in music, and the release dates of most of them will tell you that means I'm getting old!
