Plasmatics

Aside from the fact that many of the Derby Dames physically resemble Wendy O. Williams, the late Mohawk-sporting, scantily clad singer of the Plasmatics, derby girls also share a love of extreme adventure with Williams, who performed all her own stunts, from jumping off the top of a moving school bus before it exploded to taking a chainsaw to a guitar. So it’s not surprising that most of the songs on this classic metal-punk album — from the militant-sounding metal of “Masterplan” to the sweaty, sadistic “Sex Junkie” — blend perfectly with a full-contact sport on wheels.
