1971-EPIC
Produced by RON RICHARDS & THE HOLLIES
1. What A Life I’ve Led
2. Look What We’ve Got
3. Hold On
4. Pull Down The Blind
5. To Do With Love
6. Promised Land
7. Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress
8. You Know The Score
9. Cable Car
10. A Little Thing Like Love
11. Long Dark Road
The Hollies showed up in 1965, and built a legacy of singles that has always suggested that they were a much better band than their seemingly endless string of lackluster albums would indicate. The number of greatest hits packages made by The Hollies speaks volumes, and if you want to appreciate this band, that’s going to be the best way for you to go. By 1971, Graham Nash had long since departed for the much greener pastures of Crosby, Stills and. The band was left with the also soon to leave Allan Clarke, and they still couldn’t put together a full albums worth of quality material to save their lives. Distant Light is one of the below average efforts that kept their string of hits alive in the early seventies, with “Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress” joining the likes of “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother” and “The Air That I Breathe”. Like most of the Hollies records, everything here sounds very dated…except for the hit. (“Long Dark Road” was also a minor, and long forgotten, hit as well).
Throughout the album, Clarke’s vocals sound as if they were piped in through a tin can. The songs here are not terrible, just completely unmemorable and very dated. It’s listenable, but just barely, and there’s not really any good reason to have this, unless you’re a big fan of the band. Get one of the many, much better, greatest hits packages instead. The Hollies would continue on…their next album, Romany (with the exact same album cover only in a winter setting) was a dud, but that didn’t stop them…The Hollies would make 10 more albums over the next decade before calling it a day. They never did make a really good album, though, and their legacy as one of the great bands of the 60’s and early 70’s is built solely on the fact that they had some hit singles. Distant Light is not highly recommended: there were much better bands in the era to hang your hat on, without having to endure too much of these guys. [First added to this chart: 05/23/2015]

17. Back 2 The Base (Live)
18. Heater (Rehearsal)
19. White Girl (Single Mix)
20. The Once Over Twice (Unissound Single Mix)
One of the biggest saviors of music in the 1980's was X. Wild Gift, their second album, still stands as their best work, and it truly is one of the best albums of the decade...and maybe one of the best punk albums of all time. This is their best overall group of songs, and the strange interplay between John Doe and Exene Cervenka was never finer that here. The two singers sang in the strangest kind of harmony that should have never worked, but always did. And the songs! "Adult Books", "The Once Over Twice", "When Our Love Passed Out On The Couch", and "White Girl" take you places that no other punk band could have dreamed.
What X did the best, and especially on Wild Gift, was to make punk beautiful while still beating you between the eyes and rocking as hard as possible. In doing so, X became one of the most unique bands in rock, a pure joy to listen to and experience. Wild Gift is X at it's best, a perfect album. [First added to this chart: 10/16/2013]

1983 – A&M
Produced By DON BARNES, JEFF CARLISI & RODNEY MILLS
1. If I’d Been The One
2. Back Where You Belong
3. One Time For Old Times
4. See Me In Your Eyes
5. Twentieth Century Fox
6. Long Distance Affair
7. I Oughta Let Go
8. One Of The Lonely Ones
9. Undercover Lover
Once upon a time, there was a Southern rock band called 38 Special. They were from Florida, and boasted as their lead singer Donnie Van Zant, the brother of legendary Lynyrd Skynyrd frontman Ronnie Van Zant. Their three albums in the 1970’s were straight ahead Southern rock fare, but with the dawn of the eighties, something changed. With each album in the decade, the band abandoned a bit more of their Southern roots and became more of a straightforward arena rock act. It made them more popular, which they rode through the eighties, but by the end of the decade, their sound had become so homogenized and hit oriented that they were barely even a rock band anymore. Which is too bad, because they had the ingredients to be a great Southern rock act.
Tour De Force is their sixth album, and their third of the eighties. It is a picture of what 38 Special was becoming. The record opens with a pair of hits: “If I’d Been The One” and “Back Where You Belong” are solid enough rockers, and kept the band on the arena circuit. The band continued to rock through most of the rest with average results…but even rocking is something they would abandon fairly soon. All in the name of making hits. The songwriting on Tour De Force is average at best, but at least they still sound like their hearts are in it. Eventually their star faded in the nineties, and they’ve not released an album since 2004’s Drivetrain. Van Zant left the band in 2013 with an inner ear injury, leaving Don Barnes as the only remaining original member. Coming soon to a bar near you. [First added to this chart: 01/13/2025]
