	Pitchfork Feature: Top 100 Albums of the 1980s
		It's said that the 1980s are responsible for the worst fashion, fads, and music of any decade of the 20th century.
		The main thrust of the album was more psychedelic, using the claustrophobic tightness of punk and the vastness of Americana as head-metaphors, analogies for two distinct states of being really goddamn freaked out.
		At the time of this album's release, Richard Meltzer called X, "the only punk band with half a chance at commercial success in America today." Truth is, they never had a prayer; they were better than that.

		Rock and Roll emerged as a defined musical style in America in the 1950s, though elements of rock and roll can be seen in rhythm and blues records as far back as the 1920s.
		Early rock and roll combined elements of blues, boogie woogie, jazz and rhythm and blues, and is also influenced by traditional folk music, gospel music, fl and white, and country and western.
		While mainstream rock music was no longer able to shock or offend, new forms of music, particularly Punk rock and Rap emerged to fill this role; people who as youths delighted in the effect rock and roll had on their parents found themselves railing in a similar fashion against their children's music.

		Rock is a form of popular music from the late 20th century which typically features a vocal melody (often with vocal harmony) that is supported by accompaniment of electric guitars, a bass guitar, and drums, often with a strong back beat.

		Alternative rock is a form of rock and roll that has developed over the last few years as a reaction to the commercial nature rock music took on during the 1980s.
		Rock emerged when the music industry was seeking to exploit a new market, and the youth audience was simultaneously seeking a medium that would allow it to express itself.
		He begins by explaining that alternative rock is a rebuttal to the "selling-out" attitude of the previous generation and a return to the spontaneity and crispness that rock posessed in the 1950s and 1960s.

		The album was a platinum seller, but marked a change in the Zeppelin sound as straightforward, guitar-based jams such as "Nobody's Fault But Mine" had replaced the intricate arrangements of previous albums.

	Amazon.ca: Rock 'n' Roll: Music: Mekons (Site not responding. Last check: )
		At the time when this album, "Rock and Roll" was released the Mekons were 10 years old which probably be around the age of 40 calculated in rockstar years, given the 2 year life expectancy of most rock and roll bands.
		"Rock and Roll" is interesting because we see the Mekons at a juncture in their career that defines their musical direction for the next 15 years.
		The key song on this album is the second, "Club Mekon." The first song, "Memphis, Egypt," is a stunning intro, but as fine as it is, the second is just as great, which immediately cues the listener that this isn't a case of a band putting its only good foot forward.

	Rolling Stone : Prince, Browne Make Rock Hall

		Criteria for consideration includes "the influence and significance of the artist's contributions to the development and perpetuation of rock and roll." The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is located in Cleveland, Ohio.
