5 wonderful albums that were released 40 years ago this month

by

Many music historians mention in 1984 as a pioneering music year. That may be true, but a quick review of the evidence shows that 1985 was also quite strong. For example, look back the albums published in March of this year.

We selected five excellent albums from this month and could not even get important publications by Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton, Bon Jovi and many others. Let's look at the cream of the album from 40 years ago this month.

Southern accents By Tom Petty

It says something about Petty's talents that he was able to deliver an excellent record. Southern accents If a concept album is, but Petty was a bit distracted by the exciting pop approach, which was no longer signaled by “Don't come around here” and was selected on the topic. However, the remains of it are there and are breathtaking. “Rebels” rocked with fire and poison, “The Best of Everything” is a bitter sweet beauty, and “Southern Accents” can raise a legitimate claim to be the best song of all time of Rock's all -time sizes.

Dreams in action By Howard Jones

The British new wave was largely defined by artists who leaned into the arch and ironically. Howard Jones flew into the face with his serious positivity and it is so refreshing to hear it now as it was back then. Dreams in action Starts with “Things Can Caon Get Better”, one of the best singles in the era, and the album often increases to the standard that plays this brilliant song. Jones and producer Rupert Hine are constantly delivering inventive synthesizer arrangements, and the texts are always thoughtful. Bonus points for the limited early version of “Nobody who is ever to blame” before Phil Collins amazed her with his production for the masses.

Lost and found By Jason & The Scorchers

The idea of ​​mixing genres in theory often sounds better than execution. But this quartet managed to take Country Songwropen and combine them with punker energy, which led to a thriller of a debut album. Speaking of Songwriting, Jason & The Scorchers, several writers benefited from several writers who were able to contribute to the mix while the lead guitarist Warner Hodges were able to put the house. The highlights include the up -and -coming, catchy “white lies”, the powerful “Load it in the area” and a boasting of the chestnut of the 50s “I really don't want to know”.

The secret of the association By Paul Young

Many American fans may only remember Young, only from his blue-Eyed Soul hit “Everyway You went away” (and perhaps his participation in tape AID). The album, which contains this huge daryl-hall-Kern track, is actually pretty good from start to finish. Young was not afraid to make courageous decisions in the selections and arrangements of his cover, which for exclamation versions of the anne pebles 'soul smash “I will tear down your play house” and Tom Waits' brooding “soldiers”. Originals like “Everything has to change” and “One Step Forward” also stood up as educated, daring pop.

The power plant from the power plant

Duran Duran made the unique decision to briefly split up at the highest point of her popularity in order to form two splinter straps. Simon Lebon and Nick Rhodes formed Arcadia, who focused on fussy pop. In the meantime, John Taylor and Andy Taylor met with singer Robert Palmer and the chic drummer Tony Thompson to break out heavy R&B. Thompson's smashed beat is an essential part of the excellent coverage of “Get it on (bang a gong)”, while Palmer's measured delivery teases the whole sultry attitude out of “some may be hot”. Go beyond the hit -singles and there are still some gemstones that find courtesy for this memorable side project.
