Between 1989 and 1995 I saw most of these bands numerous times. At some point I decided I was sick of 'em and sold my AmRep collection. Now I'd like to track down some of them again, but having trouble remembering everything. ScreamsFromTheGutter provides some useful comments below, and I know a few of the must-haves, but thought a poll could help.
