Especially that first side. I was 16 when this album came out. I probably got it from the Columbia Record House mail subscription (if anybody remembers that) and played the tape until it wore out. It still, now, on Spotify, sounds groundbreaking! I love this album, every song on it. But especially Girlfriend Is Better. One of my favorites of all time!EPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05553592595065907068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660808341284783109.post-63751109048909759252019-01-13T06:24:24.613+03:002019-01-13T06:24:24.613+03:00Yes.

It was a gradual build up of an underground scene throughout the 80s, with grunge being an amalgamation of punk, indie, and even metal influences.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660808341284783109.post-11349590359216215392019-01-12T18:44:26.063+03:002019-01-12T18:44:26.063+03:00Thank you George for coming back. !

After punk, new wave, postpunk, Brian Eno, non blues based hard rock, etc., the 80s scenario was taken by overproduced synth pop, formulaic pop rock, hair metal and dance music. Until Seattle appears. But that was more refreshing than revolutionary. Talking Heads, after all, were trying to adapt with dignity.
