On That Note: Album Series Take 5’s, Part 2

Head on the Door - The Cure (1985)

Close to Me is one of my favorite pop songs of all time. That alone qualifies the album. I actually didn’t get the album until 1988 or so. I probably wouldn’t have appreciated it in ‘85, but damn could I have benefited by having it that year.

I think I took this album (and perhaps The Cure in general) for granted back in the day.

Guided By Voices
“Alien Lanes”
April 4, 1995

I don't revisit a lot now, but this was heavy-rotation for a significant stretch, for quite a while.

Not easy to limit to 3/4 slections, but there’s a little flex, album has … 28 tracks. Heh!

If nobody else is doing it:

Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash — The Pogues

Most of the album is excellent.





Hopefully someone else will do Brothers in Arms by Dire Straights?

That sax solo is high on my list of GOATs.
