Top 25 for 1988: DEMOLISH Staff Picks
These lists were compiled in order for you to get a better understanding of why we (as in the main Demolish staff writers) say the things we do about bands — whether it be in reviews and or feature articles.
By reviewing these lists, you can plainly see who and what we (as in individuals) favor and hopefully you will get a general idea of our journalistic personalities.
