"Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor." Can anyone name the quoted Huey Lewis fan? https://www.instagram.com/p/CNvHUUWjpAV/?igshid=sclo2qy547y9

Featured albums and artists that we, at The Great Library of Alexandria, LOVE! Check out these albums, and check back in monthly for new albums.

We know we're late with these, but that doesn't mean we love these albums any less. This month we featured two older rock bands, Sir Lord Baltimore and Giles, Giles and Fripp.

For our final SOTD of March we went with another thrash song from a newer band. Municipal Waste rocks! Luckily we had the opportunity to catch them a few years ago on tour with Exodus.

Tokyo Blade reminds us a lot of Iron Maiden, yesterday's SOTD. "Night of the Blade" is our song today, and it's a real banger.

Today for our SOTD, we went with one of our all time favorites, and current R&R HOF finalists, Iron Maiden, and a track off of their second album, Killers.

Love is another underappreciated band that wee wanted to feature with a SOTD. Reel to Real isn't their best album, but "Everybody's Gotta Live" is one of their best songs.

Today's SOTD is "I Can See for Miles" by British rock legends The Who. This is such a heavy groove filled track, absolutely love this song.
