bLISTerd Presents: The 100 Best Albums Of The Eighties: 70-61
Click here for #100-91 , #90-81 , and #80-71 ! #70. Elvis Costello & The Attractions | Get Happy!! Released: 2/15/80 | RIAA certification: none It’s more than “British white dude totally gets Motown”, and yet, it’s not. Approximating stomping pop-soul chestnuts isn’t necessarily a revolutionary idea, and it’d be easy for a seasoned, versatile rock ensemble like The Attractions to Xerox the sound without necessarily tapping into why we all love those records in the first place. And it’d be pleasant, and […]

The Viewfinder: Madonna’s “Give Me All Your Luvin'”
I don’t mean to sound so blase about Madonna. I mean, I like the woman’s music. However, I can also say that Madonna hasn’t made an all-out great album since 1994. Euro-dance is generally not my thing, so the whole Ray of Light/Music/American Life/Confessions run, to me, added up to maybe 12 great songs and a bunch of crap.
