One critic considers this one of the three best albums by former Bealtles, along with Band on the Run and All Things must pass. Band On The Run dropped off the list in 2020, and All Things Must Pass is at 368. I would like to chekc these out soonish to compare my thoughts.

Key Songs:
Hold On
I Found Out
Isolation
Well, Well, Well

I am not sure if this, his first real solo album, deliberately tried not sounding like the Beatles - complex, varied, and with humor - or the writing lost a step without the influence of Paul McCartney, et al. Either way, it is stark and often angry.

This is fast, blues driven rock and roll mixed with loads of innuendo and energy. The fuel for any teen age boy, and still rocks for any age.

I don't want to seem overly harsh, but its miles away from London Calling or even The Ramones. I guess this is more of an observation that the countdown has records like this, and say, The Velvet Underground that were trailblazing, but maybe not all the great to listen to. Rant complete.

Speaking objectively, and I like the band and the album, its not great compared to many of its peers. Its a bit repetitive and limited, but, then again, that was what punk was about, substance over style, angst over qaulity. I get it and appreciate, but I now wonder if it belongs here.

Key Tracks:
NIkes
Self Control
Nights
Pretty Sweet
Seigfried

Special Mention - Be Yourself - a mothers love and concern all in a voicemail, yet you know the protagonist is not listening

This one is worth multiple more listens to understand it all.

The original singles were recorded just a few years after the LP record format was created, and not bundled together for another 20 years. This is still worth a listen, just like Chuck Berry's similar retrospective, but in the same way not a deliberate musical piece by design.
