Never mind the Sex Pistols...here's The Buzzcocks! Singles Going Steady is a collection of their early singles, and was the first album by the band released in America. And it just may be the greatest punk album ever made. From track one, parents everywhere must have known that they were in trouble. "Orgasm Addict" in 1979 must have been a shocker. Led by Pete Shelley and Howard DeVoto, The Buzzcocks were fast, loud...and they had great songs. Every track here is a should be classic. If you like punk in any way, you should have...no. You need this album. This is what it was all about.

The Buzzcocks broke up in 1981, but regrouped in 1989. DeVoto is gone, but Pete Shelley is still at it.

Combat Rock was the big commercial breakthrough for The Clash…and it was also their last gasp as a truly great band. Their first four albums had been pure classics, and had led to The Clash being hailed by many as the world’s greatest band. By the time of Combat Rock, internal struggles (mainly involving guitarist Mick Jones) and the heavy heroin use by drummer Topper Headon had the band left mostly in ruins. The album contains two of the band’s biggest hits: the strangely fun and bouncy “Rock The Casbah”, and the now overplayed by cover bands to death everywhere “Should I Stay Or Should I Go”. And while the rest of Combat Rock is by no means terrible, it feels like the last drops of the magic that the group had once had in abundance.

Aside from the two hits, there is nothing here that will stick with you for very long. The end for them was very near, and you can almost hear the cracks forming as you listen. The first half of the album is much better than the second…The Clash had originally wanted this to be a double album, but you get the feeling that it would have actually made a better EP. Jones and Headon were fired after this came out, effectively ending the band (although there was one last effort, 1985’s Cut The Crap, which was simply awful). Because this was the last album with the classic lineup, you can view it as a farewell. There have been bands who have gone out on much worse notes. As it stands, Combat Rock is simply a slightly above average disc from a band that had once been consistently one of the best ever.

1970 – A&M
Produced By FREE, ROY THOMAS BAKER & JOHN KELLY

1. Fire And Water
2. Oh I Wept
3. Remember
4. Heavy Load
5. Mr. Big
6. Don’t Say You Love Me
7. All Right Now

There are still people to this day who believe that “All Right Now” is a Bad Company song. You can’t blame them…same singer (Paul Rodgers), same drummer (Simon Kirke), and the same style as the recording that was actually made by Free in 1970. Free was a band that boasted some fine musicians in Rodgers, Kirke, guitarist Paul Kossoff and bassist Andy Fraser, but also a band that was going nowhere fast. Their first two albums sold very poorly, but it was the sudden success of “All Right Now” that made people notice them, and opened the doors for Rodgers and Kirke to later form Bad Company. Fire And Water, on the strength of that hard rocking and still excellent single, took off and has been praised as Free’s big breakthrough, which it was. But it was also a bit overrated as a whole…a good album, but not by any means a great one.

Nothing else here is as immediate, or as heavy, as “All Right Now”. The title track and “Mr. Big” (later covered by Gov’t Mule) are the brightest spots, but show no indication that they would have been hits for the band. And while these guys really could play very well, most of the songs here are pretty ordinary. What carries the album, simply, is Rodgers. Maybe the most soulful singer to come out of the UK blues scene of the 60’s, Rodgers alone makes this album worthwhile. Free was never able to build on this album, which could have been a stepping stone to bigger and better things. Kossoff had a growing drug problem that split the band for good by 1973, and he died in 1976 at age 25. Rodgers and Kirke formed Bad Company, which sounded a lot like “All Right Now” and not much else of what Free played on Fire And Water. Still, this is a good listen…Rodgers is always great to hear, and Paul Kossoff was an up and coming guitarist, gone before his time.

1983 – RCA
Produced By DAVID A STEWART, ADAM WILLIAMS & ROBERT CRASH

1. Love Is A Stranger
2. I’ve Got An Angel
3. Wrap It Up
4. I Could Give You (A Mirror)
5. The Walk
6. Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)
7. Jennifer
8. This Is The House
9. Somebody Told Me
10. This City Never Sleeps

Out of the ashes of disco in 1983 rose this stunning second album by Eurythmics, and dance pop would never be the same again. Dave Stewart makes the synthesizer the main instrument here, and the beats are infectious indeed…but what really carries this album into a new world are the powerhouse vocals of Annie Lennox. The first real look we got at her was on MTV in the video for the title track. Tall, assured, a little scary, and a Howitzer of a voice. This album is best remembered for that quirky title track and the equally as excellent “Love Is A Stranger”, but there’s more to this than just the two hits. “Wrap It Up” (an Isaac Hayes cover), “I Could Give You (A Mirror)”, and “Somebody Told Me” are perfect showcases for the huge vocals of Lennox. It’s her voice alone that makes this an important album.

Of course, the title track is perfect, and “Love Is A Stranger” is not far behind. And, in spots, Stewart’s synths sound fresh today. But mostly, that sound has become stale and even more plastic than Eurythmics had intended them to be. The synthesizers are what keeps this album from the maximum rating, but it’s still terrific. The duo went on to release six more albums in the eighties before going on to their respective successful solo careers, and their sound moved to a more guitar oriented flavor pretty quickly. But if you were a child of the eighties, this is the album that Eurythmics were made of. And she can still sing like nobody’s business, but it was a bit more exciting with that short flaming red hair, the black suit, and the whip. The eighties were all about image, and Annie Lennox had it big time…along with that incredible voice.
