Yeah, that album has fallen a little out of favour with me over the last two months. I will admit that the first song is easily one of my favourites of the year though.

I guess I would describe it as maybe a cross between Bitches Brew and Superfly.

I plan to go all over the Rock timeline mainly out of curiosity and to hear things I missed or just plain miss. All are mainly used unless noted. Cut-Outs also noted, as for some reason I have a special place in my heart for them even if they're bad.

Psychedelic Furs - Mirror Moves - Sharp 1984 album that softens the Furs' attack but still keeps it good. The Ghost in You is the hit, but there's far better songs on this. Here Come Cowboys, Heartbeat, and Alice's House sound even better on vinyl than they did on the radio, bringing back memories of a short-lived New Wave station in the area I listened to a lot back then.

Utopia - Adventures in Utopia - Oddly enough, I have been getting a lot of Rundgren recently, focusing mainly on the 80's albums that I once either had or wanted to have, due to growing up in that era. This is a very good album.

The Untouchables - Wild Child - Remember at least having a cassette of this band WAY back and used to be a good road tape thanks to I Spy for the FBI, Free Yourself, and Wild Child. Except for those strong highlights, time has not been too good to it. The slick 80's Production weakens several tracks. Still a keeper, though, and to those who like the history of Jerry Dammers should at least hear I Spy... for a good track as he Produced it.

Hall and Oats - No Goodbyes (Cut-Out) - The all too brief collection of the early and usually over-looked Atlantic years which helped bring their Soulful Pop classic "She's Gone" to the public's attention. A couple of songs from the Todd Rundgren Produced War Babies made me want to investigate the album further.

Ringo Starr - Ringo the 4'th (Cut-Out) - A prime example of a bad Cut Out album, made even worse by the fact that it's an Ex-Beatle going through the motions. Never expected anything GREAT from the Drummer beyond the 1973 Ringo, but at first at lest his singles were pretty good in his solo history. This is sad, with a lot of wasted talent. The decision to try Disco was not the wisest.

Elton John - A Single Man - An album I have seen a lot in the cutouts when I was a kid, now fitted into my collection. The start of the rather difficult Late 70's-Early 80's era from what I remember, this had the small hit Part Time Love, but there's not much that stands out. It Ain't Gonna Be Easy was not too bad. The best I can say about it is that the musicians are all sharp with the material they're playing.

Three Dog Night - Around the World With... - Apart from the White Album, this was possibly one of the first albums I had when I was a kid. Brought back a few memories. In a way, this was a farewell to their best selling years (Cyan and Hard Labor were not as strong sellers). Sadly, there's no list of concerts they recorded this at, although there's a side that featured one in Japan where I think they had the best audiences outside of The US as noted on the photos in the deluxe sleeve. Not essential as a hits collection, but for $1, it was a good reminder of how well they were in concert in their prime.

Smithereens - Green Thoughts - Have to end this list on a great album. Excellent Late 80's Memories on this one. One of the few solid albums of the time released by a major (In this case, Capitol)

Now there's a quality band that rarely gets mentioned these days. Their pop stuff was really good.



Misfits inspired cover contains an amalgam of late 90s East Coast powerviolence, grindcore, metalcore, sludge...or you can just call it screamo.

"Especially for You" is a much stronger album, overall

The other smiths barely gets a mention here
