117. Beauty and the Beat - The Go-Go's

Fri Sep 22, 2023, 04:38 PM

Sep 2023

U2: The Unforgettable Fire (I still hear new things, every time I listen)
The Smiths: Hatful of Hollow
Echo & the Bunnymen: Ocean Rain (An absolute masterpiece, start to finish)
INXS: The Swing (My heart aches every time I hear your voice, Michael)
R.E.M. : Life's Rich Pageant (It's a pistol hot cup of rhyme, y'all!)
The Cure: Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me (I love all the Cure's albums, but this one....is a step above)
Madonna: Confessions on a Dance Floor (I don't care about the haters! I love Madonna, and her brilliant later work is ignored by a sexist and ageist music industry and society!)
XTC: Skylarking (Two musical and lyrical geniuses at the height of their powers)
Beethoven: Symphony #9 as recorded by Otto Klemplerer ( Werner Klemperer's - also known as Col. Klink - dad!) The single greatest musical achievement in human history.
