Reader Reviews
I liked Ammonia Avenue from 1984, especially Don't Answer Me. But my favorite song on here is Prime Time, and it deserved more airplay and attention than Answer got in summer 1984. I heard it in Conyers, Georgia during a road trip in summer '84 and loved it. Don't Answer Me is such wonderful acoustic guitar playing--sometimes the Beach Boys' 1988 Kokomo borrows from that song. I'd have to say that Ammonia was their most pop oriented album, as Alan Parsons and his band load this album with lots of pop hooks that's a far cry from their '70s progressive rock period. It was just as strong enough to compete with Lionel Richie, Cyndi Lauper, Tina Turner, Huey Lewis and the News and other artists that dominated the charts of '84. The rest of the album is just as strong and musically deep. I didn't think that they would top 1980's Eye in the Sky but they sure did with this one. This is just as much a classic as their other albums.
