Steve McQueen

Prefab Sprout

Based on The King of Rock and Roll, I was expecting to hear more New Wave-influenced pop, but I enjoyed the more atmospheric pop ballads as well. Thanks to my late English friend David for introducing me to Prefab Sprout a few years back.

The folk-rock songs were okay, but I ended up skipping most of the improvisations. I feel like appreciating this album would require ingesting illegal substances.
