Episode 430 is ADAM AND THE ANTS (+ Adam Ant solo). “Kings of the Wild Frontier” was the one non-classic rock album in my high school collection, and I played it repeatedly to show how “alternative” I was. How lame. But revisiting it four decades later, it still kinda slaps — idiosyncratic new wave with Burundi drums, glam tones and a pirate ethos, and bouncy fun. The first solo album is OK but you can skip the rest.
