When I think of the early 80s, I think about the emergence of the post-hardcore scene. Nothing related to hardcore on this list at all. You would think one song would have made it, especially when you consider the name of the blog is a reference to the Pixies. Here are some notable hardcore tracks released in 1982 (not exhaustive -- only those I could think of):
Bad Brains - Pay to Cum
Bad Religion - We Are Only Gonna Die
Black Flag - TV Party
Dead Kennedys - Halloween
Dead Kennedys - Moon Over Marin
Flipper - Ever
Husker Du - All Tensed Up
Husker Du - Data Control
Mission of Burma - That's How I Escaped My Certain Fate
The Replacements - Kids Don't Follow
The Replacements - Stuck in the Middle
I also noticed To Hell With Poverty!, which is one of the favourite Gang of Four tracks ever, didn't make the list.
