The Gun Club -
Fire of Love
This is what real passion sounds like, and a sound like this doesn't become less powerful or less relevant with time. Rather, the true genius of the album makes itself even more apparent with each passing year, as it holds up in the year 2008 as well as it did in 1981. This is one of my very favorite albums because of its tremendous ability to remove itself from time - the perfect merger of blues, punk and lyrics straight from Jeffrey Lee's soul helps to make this one of the most powerful albums ever made. Very few albums sound as pure as this one does.
