dvddesigner,
So right you are. Rio is to me the perfect album. Every song is part of the whole, and each is perfectly realized. When it came out in '83 (?), i Iistened to it every day for 3 years. I still listen to it frequently.
I will add Candy O by The Cars to the list. All great songs that hold together as a single work of art, perfectly produced by Roy Thomes Baker, and inspired guitar playing by the great Elliott Easton.
