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.
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.
