ABC - most songs after Lexicon of Love!
The Eurythmics - Missionary Man
The Cars - most songs/LPs after Shake It Up! album.
Adam Ant solo - most of his albums

Simple Minds - (Don't You) Forget About Me

I lost all respect and interest in the mighty Simple Minds forever after, although I will always love their earlier stuff.

Totally agree! [i]Very[/i] New Wave, after two great Power Pop albums; however, "Shake It Up" had a lot of stinkers.

I'll leave you with what Rolling Stone said about Panorama-

[b]"the Cars have cantankerously outdone themselves this time: Panorama isn't merely a joyless joyride, it's an out-and-out drag."[/b]

It was hard to pick just one line from the review because I agree with so much of it.

I remember back in the day hearing that, between the success of their first two albums, touring and producing a third record, Ocasek admitted that he felt he didn't have enough time to do Panorama justice.

I already didn't like the record and when I heard that I thought it made total sense.

Glokstadt had said: The Cure - Kiss Me, Kiss Me (something like that?)

Glok, are you talking about the first song on "Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me"? If so, it's called "The Kiss"

[/quote]

You must be talking to me ("You talkin' to me...") about The Cure song, "Kiss?" (Cut 1 on Side 1 - can you even say that now with CDs?)

Maybe it's the whole album I don't even like, which is titles Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me... "Why Can't I Be You" is only so-so IMHO, and I may have onlt heard this album once???

I've never read Rolling Stone, unless by accident it was at the dentist or doctor's office... and as a former music reviewer, everyone has their own opinion, and likes and dislikes... I do [i]like[/i] "Panorama," AND it's not as [i]great[/i] as the "The Cars" or "Candy-O" -- I can agree. Besides their was no "hot" chick on the cover, just a boring finish-line flag...

Thanks for taking the time to find the review. I did read it. The author, Ken Tucker, makes some valid points, and on the whole really hates the album. Oh, well... [|)]

Meanwhile, the review for [i]Shake It Up[/i] says:

For the Cars' superb 1980 album. Panorama, Ric Ocasek wrote about feeling estranged from (and by) the big time, while the band went gung-ho progressive eclectic leap from the lean nonchalance of the first two Cars LPs toward (relative) sincerity.

On topic: Shoo Be Doo. Thank goodness it's short.

[empyrean]

The Cure's double album Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me is total crap except for the songs CATCH, HOW BEAUTIFUL YOU ARE and JUST LIKE HEAVEN.

I totally agree to BERLIN's Take My Breath Away

Good music depends on the ear of the listener. [:D][:D]

Thank you, I knew I was feeling that way about that album.

You mean Rolling Ads? I guess it has a place for photographers and undernourished models . . .

Motels - Take the L

I just heard it the other day & thought how great the verses were, how good the music was, and then that ridiculous chorus ruins the whole thing!

For me, Martha Davis was all about being dark & tortured & kind of spooky...take the L out of lover & it's over is just too much of a joke for someone like that & ruins the image.

But can you deny that it's true? It made less sense to my Korean bruthas..."Take R out of Rubber and it's Ubber..." They were like "WTF?"
