Re: SPIN's 5 Albums I Can't Live Without
I was thinking about this run as I was out walking and listening last night
Pretenders
Pretenders II
Learning to Crawl
Get Close
The quality might dip a little with Get Close, but Learning to Crawl is a tough act to follow and Chrissie was recovering from the loss of two members.

Re: SPIN's 5 Albums I Can't Live Without
Learning to Crawl was the recovery album and was still pretty terrific. Get Close has a lot of highlights. It just feels like the band concept is barely hanging on, and you're starting to grudgingly have to accept that "Pretenders" is going to mean "Chrissie Hynde and Friends" going forward.

Good call. It was a long time before other band members were highlighted on an album cover.Edgy MD wrote: ↑Fri Jul 22, 2022 2:07 pm Learning to Crawl was the recovery album and was still pretty terrific.

Last of the Independents is really good, too.

Re: SPIN's 5 Albums I Can't Live Without
Here's another absolutelty amazing and also, groundbreaking four studio album run. I had to bend the rules just a bit to get this one in here. You'll see what I mean as soon as you read it.

Re: SPIN's 5 Albums I Can't Live Without
Billy Joel had a great run with:
Turnstiles
The Stranger
Glass Houses
52nd Street
And I would argue he continued for another four:
Songs From the Attic
Nylon Curtain
An Innocent Man
The Bridge
