Dreamtime has, for me, the distinction of being the least bad of their three last albums (everything post 1990 should not be dignified as being Stranglers releases). The title track is pretty decent and Always the Sun is a good pop song (although I personally dislike it, too fuскing mellow).

Still, the best song of this era is probably this cut from Hugh's 1988 solo album

Thanks so much for posting this, Mindy. I love the name Hippie Sabotage. And I like the song's subject matter. I'm puttting together a mix about being in or wanting to escape nowhere towns and will probably include this song:

I saw Humble Pie in 1980 and it was OK, not great. Sure, I knew a couple songs that were staples on AOR (30 Days In The Hole, I Don't Need No Doctor) plus material from 'Eat It' that I had been introduced to a few years earlier. At that time, I was not motivated to check out the entire back catalogue of Humble Pie albums. Like I said; it was OK, not great.

Fast forward to 1990 or so. Big Hair metal which I never loved was dying and grunge that was difficult for me to embrace was emerging. I hear some new Humble Pie and it sounds great...no, wait. It's a new band, The Black Crowes. Funny how 10 years can change your perspective.

I've never been a big fan but I'm as solid as it gets when it comes to being a casual fan. Their release earlier this year is pretty good and deserves a few listens if you like your blues/rock loose and groovin'.
