September 14, 201610 yr Billy Squier's 2nd release - "Don't Say No" was top heavy with radio songs... In The Dark The Stroke My Kinda Lover You Know What I Like Too Daze Gone Lonely Is the Night Whadda You Want from Me Nobody Knows I Need You Don't Say No.
September 14, 201610 yr Guns N' Roses - Appetite for Destruction It seemed to quietly, by comparison, hit the scene when popular music was going through the transitions of trying to find itself in the late 80's, with its first single "Welcome To The Jungle" (that I initially liked), and eventually struck a chord with classic rockers and metal heads alike, but after I began to witness the white trash revolution that it was setting off, and the radio playing it to death, I had to run in another direction. Welcome to the Jungle It's So Easy Nightrain Out ta Get Me Mr. Brownstone Paradise City My Michelle Think About You Sweet Child o' Mine You're Crazy Anything Goes Rocket Queen

September 14, 201610 yr Crosby, Stills & Nash's debut (CSN), and their follow up "Deja Vu" as CSNY with Neil Young was a great one two punch to launch this legendary band.

September 14, 201610 yr Once he gained solid footing with "The Stranger", Billy Joel began a 15 year stretch of one hit album after another, spawning hit song after hit song. Though it's hard to not just list them all, "The Stranger" really stands out with this track list: Movin' Out (Anthony's Song) The Stranger Just The Way You Are Scenes from an Italian Restaurant Vienna Only the Good Die Young She's Always a Woman Get It Right the First Time Everybody Has a Dream/The Stranger (reprise)
September 14, 201610 yr From 1982 to 1987 John Mellencamp just kept knocking it out of the park American Fool Un-Huh Scarecrow The Lonesome Jubilee Though naming these 4 albums is a bit of a stretch when staying within the theme of the thread, when he released his first "Best Of" release it was primarily songs off of these 4 albums. Though his career is even more vast than just this period, it's this period that he most definitely is known for, and is what locked him in solid as a legend with songs like: Hurts So Good Jack and Diane Crumblin' Down Pink Houses Authority Song Lonely Ol' Night Small Town R.O.C.K in the U.S.A. Paper in Fire Cherry Bomb Check It Out
September 14, 201610 yr Just about everything released by Simon & Garfunkel is golden, and their 3rd, 4th, and 5th releases reads like most of their greatest hits missing only the tunes "Sound of Silence" and "I am a Rock" from the SOS release. Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme Bookends Bride over Troubled Water

September 14, 201610 yr Though their 2nd full length "A Northern Soul" was my personal favorite, The Verve's "Urban Hymns" is what gave them their mainstream success with... Bitter Sweet Symphony Sonnet The Rolling People The Drugs Don't Work Catching the Butterfly Neon Wilderness Space and Time Weeping Willow Lucky Man One Day This Time Velvet Morning Come On
September 14, 201610 yr Though it would unfair not to recognize a ton of other Neil Young releases, "After the Gold Rush", and "Harvest" released back to back in 1970 & 1972 were full of radio songs. After The Gold Rush Tell Me Why After The Gold Rush Only Love Can Break Your Heart Southern Man Till the Morning Comes Oh, Lonesome Me Don't Let It Bring You Down Birds When You Dance I Can Really Love I Believe in You Cripple Creek Ferry Harvest Out on the Weekend Harvest A Man Needs a Maid Heart of Gold Are You Ready for the Country Old Man There's a World Alabama The Needle and the Damage Done Words

September 14, 201610 yr Perhaps not getting much radio play in most markets, this release is a solid slice of Punk that practically began the revolution. It's to Punk what Run D.M.C's "Raising Hell", and NWA's - "Straight Outta Compton" was to Rap. The Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks Holidays in the Sun Bodies No Feelings Liar God Save the Queen Problems Seventeen Anarchy in the U.K. Submission Pretty Vacant New York E.M.I.
September 14, 201610 yr What station do you listen to? Pearl Jam Radio on SXM I rarely listen to terrestrial radio anymore but all of those had play on WEBN and 96 Rock. One of the greatest albums of all time.
