A Reader staffer shares three musical obsessions, then asks someone (who asks someone else) to take a turn.
Thunder Rock, “Don’t Go Away” I found this charmingly inept 1984 pop-metal single by the amazingly obscure Thunder Rock while browsing the world’s greatest digital repository of private-press records, eBay. “Don’t Go Away” is its B side, a cockeyed ballad that sounds ready to fall off the wax at any moment, then miraculously arrives at its triumphant finale nearly intact. The singer’s timorous, tuneless falsetto convinced me to put in a bid, but somebody else won the auction for $113.61.
