I’d heard State Of The Heart (and Celebrate Youth) more than a few times listening to reruns of 80s American Top 40 and I really never noticed just how pug fugly that synth solo is until you pointed it out. I really like the rest of the song but good lord, that synth tone 😭

I’ve always liked Dolly’s voice and ofc I admired her as a person but she’s also one of many artists I seriously need to fully dive into. I’m familiar with Jolene, I Will Always Love You & a number of her crossover pop hits in the late 70s/early 80s but that’s pretty much it at the moment.

Wicked Dreamer @wickeddreamer.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Playing all the Dolly Parton-related records I have in my collection …which at the moment is limited to her Jolene album, Whitney’s IWALY cover on the Bodyguard CD and a couple of recent covers of Jolene. Nobody could do that song like Dolly tho. May she rest in peace and may her music live on!

agreed. It’s not a song I seek out very often (even before it became as big as it is) but I like it.

Just had a listen to “Move Like This”, the only Cars album I don’t have. It’s one of their weaker albums but it’s still pretty good, definitely better than I expected from a band that hadn’t put out anything in over 20 years at that point. 7.3/10 favs: Keep On Knocking, Sad Song, Blue Tip worst: 🔜

“Door to Door” wasn’t the back-to-basics record it was said to be, but it speaks to my love of 80s music that I actually really liked it. I honestly found it better than the Cars’ early 80s records, which I know is kind of an unpopular opinion. 7.8/10

Wicked Dreamer @wickeddreamer.bsky.social · 28/03/2026

“Heartbeat City” marked a more glossy, synth-driven direction for the Cars (which I believe had a lot to do with working with Mutt Lange) and I think it really works! The five top 40 hits this album spun off are all fantastic and overall, I’d call it their best record since their debut. 8.1/10

“Shake It Up” is probably the Cars’ most pop album up to that point (and they’re about to get even poppier) but despite that, this album stands out to me the least of their work so far. Still a consistently good record throughout, with no real duds to be found. 7.3/10
