Free Music Review: Very good compilation of an underrated band
Hit: 4 Stars
I hadn't heard a Motels song in like 15 years until 'Only the Lonely' played last week on XM Radio. I was instantly reminded of just how much I enjoyed listening to the band back in the 80's.
Unable to locate the 'No Vacancy' CD (it's apparently out-of-print), I purchased this compilation instead. It is very, very good - not great as I really prefer their later material over the earlier stuff.
Few vocalists can belt 'em out with the raw energy of Martha Davis - she's terrific, as is the rest of the band.
The music of the Motels has aged very well, and in a business overloaded with hype and hysteria, I can honestly say that this group is (for the most part) underrated. 'Suddenly Last Summer' is one of the best ballads to come out of the 80's, period.
Recommended, and well worth the price of admission.
