It's pretty much impossible to say which is correct...was Marshall Crenshaw years too late, or was he years ahead of his time? Maybe he was both. Marshall Crenshaw was maybe the most critically loved debut album of all time...and for good reason. This was the resurgence of rock and roll, and the perfection of power pop all in one bespectacled package. This is a stunning album, and songs like "Someday, Someway" and the magical "Cynical Girl" make this pretty much the power pop bible. It was, however, 1982, and rock & roll was in a flux...New Wave was rushing in, born of punk, hair metal was pushing ourt what is now known as classic rock, and Marshall Crenshaw was out of place. Too bad, because this is a truly great album that was lost in the shuffle.
The 2000 reissue has some amazing bonus tracks...something bonus tracks usually are not. "Whenever You're On My Mind" is a demo, but it's still one of the great lost pop songs, and to have it here makes it even sweeter... and it saves you from having to get the much lesser follow up album Field Day. "You're My Favorite Waste Of Time" is just as good. And the live tracks are great as well, including the Buddy Holly track "Rave On". (Crenshaw is forever compared to Holly for his looks, his appearance as Holly in "La Bamba", and his music). Crenshaw never came close to his debut album, partly because he didn't want to be nailed down to one specific sound. But you should definitely have this record. Because 1982 was the year of Marshall Crenshaw, and it doesn't get much better than this. [First added to this chart: 04/14/2012]
