Nimzo Mixtape #2 - 80s Post-Punk Favorites

Post-punk is a deviation from the more common punk rock of the 70s. It features more elaborate production than typical of the latter genre, with more attention to creating soundscapes while still keeping the angular guitar lines and rhythmic quality of punk rock. It also commonly features a more depressive quality to the songwriting than plain punk, and, to me, is more effective. The 80s were its heyday; below are some of my favorites from that period.

The format of this list: Artist - Song || Album it's from || Release year.

Nimzo's Top 500 Albums of All Time (2023 Edition; Part 1/2)

*Phew...* this was a hard list to put together! I decided to break this into two parts, as I wanted a longer list than I posted last year but need it to be manageable (doin' school at the same time). This was meticulously put together and thought out. To some it may seem counter-intuitive to rank music, but over time I've developed systems to compare and rate albums based on enjoyment and the impact they've had on me. Nevertheless, this sort of extensive list is very hard to do. In any case, I thoroughly enjoyed the process of making it. A couple of little factoids about this half of the list: Percentage of male vocalists - 50%; female vocalists - 27.2%; male + female vocalists - 12.4%; instrumental - 10%; non-binary - 0.4%. Top sub-genres - Alternative Rock, Post-Punk, Indie Rock, Trip Hop, Art Pop, Industrial. Oldest album on the list - Sonny Rollins - Saxophone Colossus (1957). The format: #. Artist - Album || genres || Release Year...

Ranking Chelsea Wolfe's Discography (Worst to Best)

Similar / relevant lists: Gaian Doom Boxset Chelsea Wolfe Interview Compilation Radiohead Song Ranking Björk Ranking The Joy Formidable Ranking Chelsea Wolfe is a strong contender for my favorite artist of all time. Her and the eponymous band's style is versatile, and, contrary to the views of some detractors, not chameleonic; all of her work is very dark and often gothic, but there are many different facets and angles of her own unique darkness that she comes at in her work. Genres she has explored include ethereal wave, dark folk, doom metal, and gothic rock. In this ranking, I will list my favorite studio albums in reverse order. Underneath, I will rank my 50 favorite songs of hers. 8. Mistake in Parting || Alternative Rock || 2006 || 5.5/10 7. Birth ...
