This is the first of many Pollard entries on Fugazzi Grand III. If anyone other than Todd Kemper is wondering, one of the biggest decisions I struggled with while coming up with this list was whether to include this or "Jack Sells the Cow" in the top 500. I went back and forth for quite a while. I'm still not sure I made the right decision.
I've always loved the Circus Devils record "Sgt Disco", and this is the Pollard album that reminds me the most of that record, but I really can't tell you why. One thing I can say about this album, and many other Pollard long players, is that this release features about 5 or 6 fantastic songs, 2-3 absolute stinkers ("Newly Selected Dirt Spot", one of the worst Pollard songs of all time), but in the end, this is a pretty solid album. I enjoy listening to this one in the car on the way home from work.
Here's track #1 ... "Things Have Changed (Down in Mexico City)" ...
Go ahead, make your fun. 29 years after it was originally released, I still know every word to this album, and that includes the commentary by McMahon, "Mean" Gene and Jesse "The Body". I'll bet you didn't know that Cyndi Lauper appears on 4 of the 10 songs on this album. If you can name them without googling it, I want to be your friend. Any guesses, Andy Gilmartin ?
Try not to enjoy this version of "Land of 1,000 Dances", featuring the Superstars of the World Wrestling Federation ...
