Live Wire
Is it Disco? Is it Pop? This was an album that was lobbied for. It doesn’t belong in this category. To me it sounds more like Taylor Dayne than Bonnie Tyler. So, I ask you: Does this belong in the “Rock” category?
We’ll make it a poll.
There were no singles that hit the charts in the UK. The only one was “Destiny” which sounds like a cut-rate Madonna song. And the only reason I include Madonna in this category is that she has had an enormous impact on the music cultural landscape. Bonnie Tyler because Jim Steinman wrote her songs and they are easily rock epics. But, Rush isn’t either of those. In fact, she’s barely a Kylie Minogue.
But I’m nothing if not accommodating.
The Madonnfluence is strong. Especially on “Ave Maria (Survivors of a Different Kind).
