Produced by Mark Van Hecke. The Violent Femmes were discovered playing outside of a venue by Pretenders guitarist James Honeyman-Scott in 1981. They've gone on to record many albums and have levels of success, but nothing has ever matched the magic of their debut album. When they were on, they made acoustic punk a reality, and never better than on "Blister In The Sun", "Gone Daddy Gone" and "Add It Up". Their legacy rests mostly on this exceptional classic album that made the music of the 80's much more bearable. [First added to this chart: 02/19/2015]

1983-MANGO

Yeah, I kinda went through a phase where I was all into African juju music: King Sunny Ade, in particular. This is from the early 80's, when Island records was trying to make Ade the next Bob Marley. It didn't work, mainly because Ade sings only in an obscure African language. But the music on albums like Synchro System is a beautiful thing. Very guitar driven music, this is truly danceable and perfectly crafted upbeat stuff. Synchro System is one of Ade's finest albums...too bad we never caught on.

King Sunny has been a star in Africa since the 1960's, and he continues to be today. Check out the World music section of your record store one day. If you see Synchro System, pick it up. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
