[Closed] B1974 1Y: In the Dark vs. Crime of the Century

Listmeister · 2014-08-17T20:55:26-04:00

Toots and the Maytals were an influential Jamaican Reggae band that, on September 29, 1980, set a record for fastest performance-to-record-release turn around, They recorded a live show, pressed, labelled, and packaged a record (called Live), and had it available in record stores within 24 hours. Six years earlier, they recorded the record in question today. It's called In the Dark. In The Dark by Toots & The Maytals , nominated by Saoirse. In 1979, Supertramp released Breakfast in America a monster quadruple-platinum album that holds the interesting distinction of being the best selling English-language album in France. Five years before that, they had had a couple of albums that flopped and nearly broke up before they produced their breakthrough album, Crime of the Century. Crime Of The Century by Supertramp , nominated by BEA.

Voted for Crime of the Century. I grew up with it anyway... In the Dark did not stand out (for me) compared to other Reggae albums...

Ew, what an ugly result. I was planning on listening to In the Dark someday but I'll do it ASAP so I can vote for Crime. Seriously though, Supertramp really is over the top as fuck but they're also genuinely touching IMO. That record really is full of emotion, but I might also be blinded by nostalgia (or what looks like nostalgia when you're actually 21 year old haha).
