Michigander. Maybe a poet? But track record says I’m a poser. Listener of music. Reader of books. In summer see me at Lake Michigan a lot offering the appearance of being hip because I am wearing sunglasses. 🏳️‍🌈 Gen X for life.

This album has grown on me so much in time. Liked it when first came out and now it’s essential. Side two of the vinyl starts with this song and really if I could I’d have that entire uninterrupted side as this installment. So great.

Will be on my list yet to come. Love it
Top to bottoms a great album
Great writer. Klara and the Sun great as well
Driving north on a little long weekend getaway to see what can be found. Been listening again to Never Let Me Go by Ishiguro. What a ridiculously well told story. Feels as relevant at its debut 20 years ago

Thanks! Gets harder as you get closer to number one
I really enjoy the whole album
No. 14
This whole album is wonderful. I chose this one as it was the introduction to them for me. 1984 was the year. What an era of music.

1989 brought this classic to the world. First time I heard it I stopped what I was doing and listened in awe. It builds and builds. The album came later and it was just as great.

This is a musical experience. So good.
Reminds me of a panning I saw once that said the idea of ghosts is real.

The last true Clash album was a departure from their more punk sound but it produced some great songs, including this banger.

Here is what I’m learning from the #80sTop30 music challenge so far.
1. I like British artists much more than American artists from the 80s era.
2. It’s fun to see other people having same songs on their lists that I have. You can feel like you exist in a small bubble.
Song To The Siren is spectacular
I still listen to this one.
No. 18
This song has shown to have staying power for me (the album as well). The right mix of musical force and lyrical depth. Love it.
