MARCH MAYHEM - Pushead's Top 100 of the 80's (Qualifying Round) (Part 2 of 2)

THE KINGS continue their second annual MARCH MAYHEM tournament bracket. This year they work their way through Pushead's Unofficial Top 100 of the 80s. This list, compiled and published in 1990, constituted the bulk of Pushead's final "Puszone" column in Thrasher Magazine. The top 28 records got a first round buy. In this qualifying round, the KOPPOD hosts embarked upon a mission fit only for punk fanatics of their caliber: listen to 72 releases, and compare them to one another based on random tournament seeding. It should be no surprise that they got the job done. They discussed, dissected, and debated the releases and their relative merits in each round. It's all here for your listening pleasure, and it's split up into two parts for your mental digestion. If you have yet to acquaint yourself with the Puszone list and the music referenced therein, the list is linked below along with a YouTube playlist for this qualifying round. Let us know what you think of the troika's choices; it's a certainty that these episodes will ignite debate and derision. And we love to hear it!
