Mellencamp was/is a great writer. He had a string of albums where he had great rock and roll sound, like the Stones at their peak. Wrote some great ballads or non-rockers in same period. Lots to choose from, but this is a good one.

This song takes me back to high school. Crank it up! Dig those loafers too. It looks like he might have taken dancing lessons from Michael Jackson! I saw him open for Heart back when he still went by the name John Cougar. He rocked really hard. I came away from the show liking him more than Heart. Another rocker of his you might want to check out is "I Need a Lover" which feels like a 70's song whereas this song definitely feels like an 80's song. Another song of his nobody else mentioned is "R.O.C.K. in the USA" which is full of shout outs to his musical heroes. And don''t forget "Hurt So Good" and "Lonely Ol' Night" -- Great stuff. Pure Americana.

@trishkolberg91094 жыл бұрын
I grew up on Mellencamp, always love hearing how others hear his music for the first time. Cherry Bomb is a more chill smooth song - and also featured the first interracial romance in a music video. Minutes to Memories is one of his most meaningful to me. I'm Not Running Anymore is incredibly musically interesting - a song about getting too old for dramatic crap, with some early 90s hip hop flair (don't worry he doesn't rap). Jackie Brown I can't listen to without crying - a song about poverty. Walk Tall is an odd music video featuring Peter Dinklage in an alternative version of the 1950s. When I first heard the term social justice warrior I thought that was an apt description of his music. He's been a strong proponent of social justice for decades, occasionally missing the mark as all white men will do. Last concert I went to of his, he took a knee for BLM. Blood on the Scarecrow birthed a decades long movement in support of struggling small farms. He's from Seymour IN. My great uncle used to be his postman. He represents the best of our small towns.
