Some great picks here. A few of my favorite crossover albums from the 80's that don't seem to get much recognition are from the English Dogs. Where Legend Began, Forward Into Battle, and the Ends of the Earth (EP) are all great. They are primarily a Punk band but those were their "Metal years".
You’re already intriguing me with the Crumbsuckers Lp t-shirt alone. Yes I’m totally with YOU!! I spoke with Chris Nataro back in 1987 on a gig they’d showed up for as well as Dark Angel lol ( obviously this was their issue for both bands at the time. He said his father needed help with his landscaping business and so being a nice Italian boy from Brooklyn N.Y.? Obviously 🙄 he chose to do something for his family and we never heard of that 3rd Lp supposedly coming out any day back in’88 or so and Remain In Light 💡 never saw the 💡 of day and I HATE Pro-Pain so once he left? That was it! We toured with both Corrosion and Dr.Know and I cannot believe We have the exact same taste in a few minutes alone bro’ Aye? Seriously. We toured with Canada’s Sacrifice in 1987 and they were such nice guys as well; but as I watch your video Sir, I am just waiting to see my old vands which I know you’d love ❤️ Absolutely began with a doomsday type of style more like Black Flag/ Sabbath meets Captain Beefheart post 90. Our first 2 however will be right up your alley It would seem my friend so try it out! Sincerely yours truly xoxo 💋 DJP ex PostMortem and Kilslug Boston Massachusetts USA Amerikkka of course 🇨🇳🏳️
Interesting nostalgia. Nice to hear some old stuff. My choice for Crumbsuckers would be Beast on my Back and Money Talks for Cryptic Slaughter. And Gang Green was a favourite. I was expecting to see SDI somehere in the list.
These picks are classic crossover as you defined it: the emphasis was on hardcore punk that added in some metallic flavor. Today's bands that are labeled as crossover, most specifically Powertrip and Enforced, are totally more metal, with more in common with the NWOBHM than hardcore punk. I dare anyone to listen to the new Enforced and see if they hear anything like The Accused or Cryptic Slaughter. I think the original crossover sound evolved to be more metal as the thrash movement continued to grow, resulting in a style more like that of S.O.D./M.O.D., and later D.R.I, releases. Certainly, bands like Powertrip, Enforced, and Municipal Waste are a nod to D.R.I., but I hear much more of a traditional metal influence on the majority of those band's songs.
Cool List and Channel, some more I would add here could be. Ludichrist Powertrip 1988, Aversion The Ugly Truth (1990) , Sudden Impact No Rest From The Wicked 1986 and also Split Personality 1988 , Suckspeed Day Of Light 1989, Gothic Slam (If they are viewed as crossover, I think they are ), Deathrage Self Conditioned Self Limited 1988, Deadspot Adios Dude 1988, Chronical Diarrhoea Salmo Says 1988, Cerebral Fix Life Sucks and Then You Die! 1988. Think got most of them, minus all the mainstream ones like COC, DRI, ST,M.O.D., the ones you mentioned etc.
Maybe - it's definitely shorter than this island earth. Their Wikipedia considers it an LP tho. I would probably call it an EP but a long one. It's got enough songs and was important enough where I would consider it their debut, especially since it was way closer to a full length than a single.

Can't argue with any of those picks! Thx for watching.
SOD is not really underrated. And is usually at the top of all crossover list

Great insights ... I agree wholeheartedly. Thx for watching!
I see your shirt, I like. simple as that.
That Uncle Slam record is great.
And Excel and Gang Green.
Man, the 80s was great for extreme metal/punk, wasn't it?!
Finally Uncle Slam even their very first album was great under the name The Brood
Yes it was a smorgasbord of metal/Hard Rock, Punk
Hello what are you thoughts for 1990 Ooh crikey it's lawnmower deth such a great crossover album to start off the 90s.
Great Shirt bro saw them in Cleveland in 87 DRI Crossover album is Insane , Join the Army is up there too
Thx for watching!
Dr.Know sounds so much like Token Entry I know they're record was produced by Dr.Know.

Great list! Thx for watching.
I still have my old Cryptic slaughter and Sacrilege vinyl I have DBC on Vinyl as well. No Beyond Possession?
Yep - have that one too ... it just didn't make the cut!
Acid Reign should be on this list. Glad to see DBC though.
Excellent band!
Yo where did you get that shirt 🤘
www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/Crumbsuckers-Life-of-Dreams-by-BristolHummmmm/160110935.6VDG0
Beyond Possession - Is Beyond Possession
Propane pfff if you dont now the name dont say nothing at all
Mx Machine And Dayglo Abortion
Dr. Know had releases before This Island Earth- arguably even better than this record.
Dr. Know had some compilations issued beforehand, but This Island Earth was the band's debut full length. Thx for watching!
Nope- Plug-In Jesus came first in 1984. Have 'em both!
@@sethcohen4119 Wasn't Plug In Jesus an EP?
Maybe - it's definitely shorter than this island earth. Their Wikipedia considers it an LP tho.
I would probably call it an EP but a long one. It's got enough songs and was important enough where I would consider it their debut, especially since it was way closer to a full length than a single.
If you don't have it, definitely get your hands on it as well as the best of Dr Know comp!
