The Stranglers - Aural Sculpture. In my opinion. one of the best of the "virtually unknown" albums out there.

Playing now - Skin Deep.

The Police. Released in 1979 and it only hit #12 in the U.K. charts, Roxanne from their first album influenced all of New Wave.

Zenyatta Mondatta, 1980, The Police. From their third album, Don't Stand So Close To Me hit #1.

Stewart Armstrong Copeland, hell yeah.

hhh · Yesterday 17:49:27

Also released from Zenyatta in 1980, De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da hit #1 in Canada. Once in a while those northerners sneak up on you. More popular there because... snow in the video that The Police famously hated doing which is why Mark Knoppfler got Sting to sing on?

Produced by Stevie in 1977, You Are The Sunshine of My Life was Stevie Wonder's third #1.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1U6HReJeqo

I can imagine the internal dialog...

Stevie: So, Stevie, how many chords on this one?
Stevie: Hah! Most of them. And Jeff Beck will be here in thirty minutes.
Stevie: Cool, cool.

Number one is Superstition, I'm guessing. Number 2? Higher Ground only hit Number 4 in the US, the Chili Peppers probably did as well with their cover. I'm guessing it's one of his '80s cheese songs like "I Just Called To Say I Loved You".

Ugh, I've forgotten all of my expensive degree in music. Minor II V I, there's a name for that cadence. Ha! Neopolitan, it just came to me.

Schenkerian analysis? The Rolling Stones would like a word with you, Mr. Schenker.

hhh · Today 03:27:52

Beats Means High by The Solid Doctor. One of the better downtempo records of 1996. I especially like Faustian Bargain.

It;s official, I'm old. Nostalgic for the good old days of Katy Perry featuring Kanye West.

Katy Perry got a lot of crap for this, but I think Woman's World (2024) is a great electronica album if you don't watch the videos.

Discipline

hhh · Today 13:52:36

^ Hell yeah. If anyone hasn't heard it yet, Elephant Talk is the fusion bomb from 1981.
