I guess a lot of ignored, misunderstood or disparaged music from today will be recognized like this in the future

I voted for Chrome thinking that somebody had to. Nice to see a couple others repped for it.

"slightly modified"?https://www.discogs.com/artist/45761-Dramatis― Emperor Tonetta Ketchup (sleeve), Saturday, 6 April 2019 19:28 (four days ago) Bookmark Flag Post PermalinkNuman's backing band circa '81 formed Dramatis after Numan announced his "retirement", but none of its members were on Tubeway Army or Replicas. Paul Gardiner (who was) continued to work with Numan on 'Stormtrooper in Drag' etc. and Jess Lidyard (the drummer on those records) featured on Dance. None of the members of Dramatis had any legal claim to the name Tubeway Army.― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Saturday, 6 April 2019 19:32 (four days ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

When the "Dramatis" album was reissued by Charly records, it was renamed "The Dramatis Project" and the artist name became "Tubeway Army Featuring Gary Numan"
(Gary sang/wrote one track)

Yes, that's correct, but you're talking about a re-release of an album which was then 19 years old and neither Numan nor Dramatis had anything to do with it. It was completely misleading, and Dramatis were actually pissed off about it.
Also, Numan only sang on 'Love Needs No Disguise', he didn't have anything to do with the writing of it.

154 got 1 vote and London Calling 16? Dear God I'm glad I've not been paying attention

I didn't vote in this one, no B-52's or Drums and Wires, probably my two most played of that year. And then I couldn't decide between Slits and Gang of Four. I thought Lodger would be much higher.

LOLLLLLL
i like the pop group better than gang of four myself, i guess that's a minority opinion?
100% blindingly obvious & correct opinion

I tell you what, this is an outrage, and we need to re-distribute some of the vote-wealth of the top percentage to the equally deserving albums who only got one or two or even zero votes
― days of rags and noses (Drugs A. Money), Friday, 12 April 2019 18:52 (five years ago) link
119 votes!
