Johnny Thunders - So Alone (Real, 1978)

In March, 2014, Uncut named its 50 Greatest American Punk Albums: 1975 - 1983.  I am listening to one a day and making comments.



Number 18 on the list.  Too much rock and roll on this one.  I think that is the problem with a lot these guys that were born in the fifties: the roots of rock and roll never leave their system and they keep playing "Johnny B. Good" and "Tutti Fruity" and expecting future generations to feel it.  Not me.  I can't stand that stuff.  This record has a few okay tracks on it but is more or less just lame revivalist rock and roll - without "Pirate Love."
