"Tales Of Mystery & Imagination" - ALAN PARSONS PROJECT
[Yeah, the one that made the Blender "Worst Artists Of All Time" list.
Parsons was brilliant at the beginning...and it shows here.]
"Back To The Egg" - WINGS
[That's right....the album that all McCartney/Beatles fans loathe.....a
description that should be saved for the royal suckage that was "McCartney
II". 'Egg' is the swan song of a band that was struggling to re-invent
itself post-disco/post-punk/pre-New Wave....and then McCartney pulled the
plug.]
"The Real Thing" - FAITH NO MORE
[Gutteral. Offensive. Heavy. Non-pop. Brilliant.]
"The Biggest Prize In Sport" - 999
[A pop-album beyond peer....mislabelled punk, these guys were at the 'top of
their game'....har har]
"Setting Sons" - THE JAM
[Couldn't really get into these guys until Weller abandoned the Mods
baggage...some truly instrospective lyrical and mellodic highlights:
"Butterfly Collector" and "Smithers-Jones" are standouts]
"Go 2" - XTC
[Gutteral. Screwball. Quirky. Brilliant.]
"Revenge" - KISS
[All comebacks should be this convincing....points for Simmon's sequel to
the lacivious dirty-old-man ditty "Christine Sixteen" called 'Domino' & the
first single "Unholy" just for managing to get the word "incubus" onto
commercial radio.]
"White Flag" - JOE MANNIX
[Joe turned me from a believer in his live repertoire to a CD convert with
the studio versions of these ephemeral, acoustic driven anti-folk songs.
