Re: Frank Kogan's Pazz & Jop ballot, 1987

An amazing year, considering that I started it off by declaring that music sucked. Missing from my albums list, and from pretty much everybody's but Chuck's: Appetite for Destruction, which hadn't yet scored a hit. Missing from most people's list including mine: any glammetal whatsoever ('cept it made my videos list, which I'll post if things get too quiet).

i had to check on everyhit, but GNR didn't chart in the uk 'til 88. it hit me VERY BIG when they did though...

(ie next three years for me are "confessions of a teenage metaller")
