This Modern World by Tom Tomorrow:

this modern world is tremendous..i didnt know about it..im checking it out now every week now...im a fan.
i love the old school art.

I discovered it online about ten years ago, but according to Wikipedia it's been around since 1988. I love the look as well.

aside from trump's hatred of obama........has a president ever been hated by more people then trump.

I thought Nixon was but Trump makes him look like a great President

nixon was corrupt but a competent president....

1981 TOP TEN RANKED

1. X - WILD GIFT
2. ELVIS COSTELLO - TRUST
3. SQUEEZE - EAST SIDE STORY
4. TOM PETTY - HARD PROMISES
5. PSYCHEDELIC FURS - TALK TALK TALK
6. TOM VERLAINE - DREAMTIME
7. THE PRETENDERS - PRETENDERS II
8. THE POLICE - GHOST IN THE MACHINE
9. ROLLING STONES - TATTOO YOU
10. THE UNDERTONES - POSITIVE TOUCH
11. JAMES TAYLOR - DAD LOVES HIS WORK

Not a bad list. I'd consider some of these:
Stray Cats - Stray Cats
Billy Joel - Songs in the Attic
Stevie Nicks - Bella Donna
Joe Jackson - Jumpin Jive
Thin Lizzy - Renegade
J Giels Band - Freeze Frame
Roseanne Cash - Seven Year Ache
The Kinks - Give the People What They Want

How ranked? I'm curious. Is there anyone out there that doesn't think (from just the standpoint of QUALITY (timeless) Rock & Roll) that Hard Promises is far and away the best LP on that list?? No offense meant to any of the other good LP's on that list........ Stones, Pretenders, Police, etc.

Nice adds Wylie..........Both the Roseanne Cash and the Stevie Nicks releases still stand out near the top of their respective discography's.

edited to add: Solo discography's in the case of Nicks, of course!

MOVING PICTURES - RUSH!!!!

they are my personal favorites. - studio albums.....in my 11-20 i did have stray cats.......j. geils......tom petty did get 4 which is very high......i consider x to be an all time great band...i like them more then the doors.....imagine the doors with early chuck berry on fire...literally....billy zoom is the greatest chuck berry riffer of all time......
