Yaz Gazeteci Yaz
1976
Ranked No. 5 in Anadolu Rock
"Write it down, journalist." Selda was imprisoned three times and had her passport confiscated; the fuzz bass on her records is as blunt as the lyrics.

Cemalim
1975
Ranked No. 6 in Anadolu Rock
A lament for a dead boy, over a bassline Mos Def later sampled. The clearest evidence that this scene's records travel without any explanation attached.
Yaz Gazeteci Yaz
1976
Picked by 1976
"Write it down, journalist, write it." Turkish folk melody over a fuzz guitar, sung by a woman who was imprisoned repeatedly for records like this one. The year's clearest case of a local form being used to say something dangerous.
