The Hunkiest Albums #15: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Long After Dark

Hands down, this is the definitive Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers  album. It may not contain the "big hit" like The Waiting or Free Fallin but it's so solid beginning to end. Maybe it has to do with the themes of most of the tracks.  As a young man when I first took Long After Dark for a spin, I felt like it was speaking to me. I was just looking for love, well something close to it anyway. I highly recommend Long After Dark if you only know the Heartbreakers Greatest Hits.

The Hunkiest Albums #16: Genesis - Invisible Touch

This was the first cassette I ever got and I still have it. Young me was drawn in by the great pop hooks and Phil Collins' clear voice and easy to remember lyrics. I honestly feel that they could have just re-released Invisible Touch as Greatest Hits. But, then again, some don't enjoy this part of of Genesis. Too Bad.

The Hunkiest Albums #17 Audioslave - Audioslave

For me, Soundgarden and Rage Against the Machine are hit or miss alot. This mix was perfect. Just straight forward rock. Lyrically, you could ask for better but it still works. I feel that if Audioslave could have put aside personal conflicts, they would be the biggest act in rock right now. I guess we're stuck with U2, Mumford and Daughtry. I recommend the entire album, in order, eyes closed.

The Hunkiest Albums #18: The Traveling Wilburys - Vol.1

What would a modern day version of the Traveling Wilburys look like? What's neat about this albums is that you can distinguish who wrote each song just by listening. And yet, they all flow together swimmingly. We won't see anything like this again. But, to answer the first question: Dave Grohl, Justin Hawkins, Brad Wilk, Jared Followill and Tom Petty of course.
