Rock

From the first album of three that he released on Mercury Records between 1981-1983, this track by iconoclastic, new wave guitarist Bill Nelson is a late-blooming yet crucial discovery for me.

After acquiring an LP copy of this Canadian band’s first studio LP Avoid Freud in recent travels, this entry looks this track’s impact in queer rock music, as well as a summary of the band in general.

The challenging major label debut album Pony Express Record by Washington DC’s Shudder To Think and to me one of the most beautiful oddball signings of the 90s alternative boom.

The long closing track from The Idiot (1977) by Iggy Pop, featuring some interesting synthesizer work with repetition that brings to mind Drive Like Jehu.
