This album SCREAMS the 80s. I remember when "Drive", "You Might Think" and "Magic" pretty much owned MTV for about a year. This generation probably knows Ric Ocasek more for producing Weezer's Blue Album and Green Album (he's also manning the soundboards for their new record, yet to be named), but before he was helping create hits like "Buddy Holly" "Say It Ain't So" and "Hash Pipe", he was the brainchild of this new wave band. This album is about as catchy as any on this list, and made for great radio.
This is "You Might Think", one of the greatest videos of all time ...
Another fantastic double album, the only thing that keeps me from listening to this a lot more is that it clocks in at 84 minutes. I think I've read that this is Elton's favorite album of his own. So many great songs here ... "Tonight", "One Horse Town", "Boogie Pilgrim", "Cage the Songbird", "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word" ...
Here's "Tonight" ...
