Remote Control

 

In the mood for goofy.  That means The Tubes.  

'Remote Control' is their fourth studio album, released in 1979.  It's one of those concept albums.  Inspired by Jerry Kosinski's novel, 'Being There', it tells the story of a TV-addicted idiot savant.

Music for the Masses

 

In the mood for some electronica with Depeche Mode.  

'Music for the Masses' is their sixth studio album, released in 1987.

The full album can be found here or here.  

Ssssh

In the mood for some Alvin Lee and the fellas in Ten Years After.  

The band put out eight killer albums in seven years.  It was kind of hard to pick one, but after some deliberation I went with their third studio album, 'Ssssh', released in 1969.

The full album can be found here or here.
