I think the reviewer wants both a realistic, down-to-earth show... that’s completely off-the-wall and swarming with magic robots. 

Touché.

He's the paranoid loudmouth idiot who has the nodding approval of one DJ Trump and HIS cadre of fucktards.

Your “friend” is most likely a crisis actor. I have confirmation from deep state sources, where I also buy (with gold bars) all my colloidal silver.

So you’re saying that Catwoman was the Poochie of TDKR?

But that's part of its charm for me - it's hearing them in a very definite transitional period, right before "Help!" but right after the Beatlemania craziness. They're straddling the line between being the lovable mop tops and feeling the weight of all their success and fame, and figuring out how to move past all that.

I have not given that album enough consideration, for some reason, and must do so..

Good choices - I picked the first three tracks from “Chocolate City” and “One Nation Under a Groove” for my list.

Good one!!

Yours might be the first actual mention of the Ramones first album and its opening tracks (I was scrolling through to check before posting it myself).

I mentioned “Off the Wall” before seeing your post, among the 10,000 replies to this article. And yes, I’d personally put the OTW tracks right up there with the “Thriller” tracks.

Did not see this before I replied. Yes, yes, and yes. All the way. “In On the Kill Taker”’s first three are all excellent, as are the first three on “Red Medicine” (plus track 4, “Birthday Pony”).

Wait - how can Michael Jackson be mentioned but not “Off the Wall”?? The opening three are stone classics: “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”, “Rock With You”, and “Working Day and Night”. I mean.. fuck.

Minor Threat - agree. Fugazi’s got some killers, too - their first EP with “Waiting Room”, “Bulldog Front”, and “Bad Mouth”; or “Repeater” and its openers “Turnover”, “Repeater”, and “Brendan #1".

And what about Lennon’s “Imagine” album? The first three tracks: “Imagine”, “Crippled Inside”, and “Jealous Guy” - fuckin’ amazing.

Hell, even “With the Beatles” has a great run at the beginning of the album: “It Won’t Be Long”, “All I’ve Got to Do”, “All My Loving”, and “Don’t Bother Me”, plus two excellent covers: “Money”, and one of my favorites from that album, “You Really Got a Hold On Me”.

I would definitely not say that “Beatles for Sale” is maligned. It might be marginalized compared to many of their other albums, but I’ve not seen any negative words about it. It’s a wholly fantastic album, with tons of classics, like the ones you’ve mentioned - plus there’s “Eight Days a Week”, and the threesome of…

For me these types of lists I usually take to mean the opening three tracks of an album, to which I would submit:

It's all because of that conniving Charles Foster Kane, I'm sure of it!

And infinitely better than that dreadful 60s bit of teen psychedelica featuring a time-traveling poet who meets a young singing chanteuse: “Whit/Cher”.
