Old magazine playlists and list challenges

I got a bit bogged down going through my old magazines trying to listen to what reviewers had reviewed back in the day (that damn grunge era kicked in!), so I came up with this idea instead: why not make a playlist and list challenge for those old magazines instead? So here's my first go at it, from the very first metal magazine I ever got, Hot Metal issue 3 from March 1989. Living in New Zealand rather than Australia where the magazine was published I always got it a month or so later. Depending on your age, this is either a trip down memory lane or a history lesson.

Here's another: https://www.listchallenges.com/albums-reviewed-in-kerrang-280-10-march-1990 I got 5 because of the reissues. Playlist if you watch to check 'em out. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/38ILoPrjogjBVpJhjjUHzV?si=bf0a7acba9c54df5

I only got a couple of each 🙄
