Unfairly pigeonholed as one-hit wonders despite producing two great albums back in the 1980s, still making great music in 2020.

I'm working my way through all their albums, chronologically. I listened to 90125 a couple of days back.

A session listening to Australian albums ended up morphing into a bit of a Slowcore fest:

Rolling Blackouts - Hope Downs
Julia Jacklin - Don't let the kids win
Twerps - Twerps
Bluetile Lounge - Lowercase
---------------------------------------------
Bluetile Lounge - Lowercase
Bedhead - WhatFunLifeWas
Bedhead - Beheaded
Low - Double Negative.

Pop Will Eat Itself - Box Frenzy.
Reverting to my teenage years here as it was released in 1987. I first heard the track Hit the High Tech Groove on Annie Nightingales show back in the day and tracked it down to this album.

Martin Frawley - The Wannabee (2023). New album from the former frontman for Twerps.

Meanwhile, for my sins I thought I'd check out the 1974 Jethro Tull album War Child. Not enjoying it at all. I thought I'd check out what the critical reception was at the time. According to Wikipedia:

The 1974 Rolling Stone review of the album is very harsh, as was the Rolling Stone review of A Passion Play: "Each handcrafted track comes chock-full of schmaltz, strings, tootie-fruitti sound effects and flute toots to boot, not to mention Anderson's warbling lyricism." Concluding, the reviewer said: "Remember: Tull rhymes with dull."

I agree 100%. Not recommended.

Let's Active - Big Plans for Everybody (1986).

I have a bit of a thing for 80s and 90s US college rock.
