It’s the summer of 2023, Extreme has released its latest album Six, and it’s simply the finest effort the Boston band has ever come up with. That’s saying a lot since 1990’s Pornograffittiwas a double-platinum monster ably written and well recorded that spawned the #1 hit “More Than Words” and solid follow-up single “Hole Hearted.” The third release III Sides to Every Story, while not as strong a seller, was even better as a concept and performance in the studio.

U2's third album War was the one that began the ascent after a promising first album in 1980 and a disappointing step back on their second. The album was released on February 28, 1983, but the news had already reached a newer, larger audience after the "New Year's Day" single had impacted radio and MTV that January. War would become the band's first album to reach #1 in England and would climb to #12 in the U.S., eventually selling four-million copies.

But you can come up with dozens of creative, vibrant acts that graced listeners with immense talent since: Powerman 5000, Morphine, Letters to Cleo, to name a few.
