"Rust Never Sleeps" - Neil Young
"Damn The Torpedoes!" - T.P & The Heartsmashers
"B-52s" - B-52s (did I already say that?)
"Armed Forces" - Elvis Costello
"Rickie Lee Jones" - Rickie Lee Jones
If you got a problem with R.L.J. (rock?) I'll give you:
"London Calling" - The Clash (rock!)
My main man (Bob Dylan) had two releases which both dissappointed me somewhat: (not altogether - never!)
"(Live?) At Budokan" - double yet.
"Slow Train" - always wanted to name a band that.
Missed the 1978 thing - can't believe Devo "Are We Not Men" wasn't mentioned.
1. Breakfast In America-Supertramp
2. Regatta de Blanc-Police
3. London Calling-The Clash
4. Cornerstone-Styx
5. Fear of Music-Talking Heads
6. The Wall-Pink Floyd
7. In Through The Out Door-Zep
This is what I've come up with so far, anyhow. My answers have a habit of growing...:-/
1. Rust Never Sleeps: Neil Young and Crazy Horse.
2. The Wall - of course.
3. Into the Music: Van Morrison. I just love Van Morrison, no other reason than that.
4. In Through the Out Door: And of course Zep must be on this list.
In no particular order, other than the order in which I thought of them.
And I'll agree that Off the Wall is a great album! Don't Stop Till You Get Enough is *the* best MJ song ever.
AC/DC - Highway To Hell
Mot?rhead - Overkill
Judas Priest - Killing Machine/Hell Bent For Leather
Scorpions - Lovedrive
Ted Nugent - Great Gonzos!
Van Halen II
Cheap Trick - Dream Police
Led Zeppelin - In Through The Out Door
Pink Floyd - The Wall
GI - The Germs
And yes, London Calling.
