Crimes of Passion
(1980)
more music like this
by
Pat Benatar
With Crimes of Passion, Pat Benatar escaped the dreaded sophomore slump, thanks in no small part to the song that would become the most well-known song of her career, "Hit Me with Your Best Shot." The rest of the album is mildly hit or miss, with a few moments of filler. Thankfully, Benatar avoids the synth-happy trends of the early '80s and ...

Greatest Hits

Pat Benatar
The liner notes to Capitol's 20-track retrospective of rock goddess Pat Benatar's golden years are filled with testimonials from some of the genre's queens, both reigning (Sarah McLachlan, Tori Amos) and retired (Jane Wiedlin, Martha Davis). It's a fitting tribute to the artist, as her four-and-a-half-octave vocal range spewing arena-sized anthems ...

Released more or less in conjunction with MTV's 20th anniversary in 2001, this triple gatefold sleeve set ( not a box as the title implies), with an appropriately gaudy 27-page book, delivers 42 typical examples of songs associated with the music channel in its fledgling years. With 35 Top Ten tracks, ten of which topped the charts, there's no ...

Pat Benatar
8-15-80, in many ways, is a minor treasure for dedicated Pat Benatar fans: Benatar was captured live in San Francisco, just as she was launching the supporting tour for her second album, Crimes of Passion. Since that record and its predecessor, In the Heat of the Night, are generally considered her best albums, it's not surprising that this ...

More Pure '80s delivers just that: a collection of some of the decade's definitive pop singles.

Precious Time

Pat Benatar
The third time was definitely not the charm for Pat Benatar. While her debut and its follow-up, Crimes of Passion, both offered up hit singles and decent album material, Precious Time keeps the formula going without any of the songwriting magic of the first two records. The energy and momentum are there for the majority of the album, and even on ...

Get Nervous
(1982)
more music like this
by
Pat Benatar
In interviews, Pat Benatar made it clear that she had no desire to be stereotyped as a hard rocker -- often adding that she preferred new wave's melodic keyboards over hard rock and metal's crunching guitars. Indeed, Get Nervous was the most melodic album she'd done since In the Heat of the Night. This isn't to say that Get Nervous was a return to ...

In the Heat of the Night

Pat Benatar
With her debut recording In the Heat of the Night, Pat Benatar wasted no time starting out of the gate with the furious leadoff track "Heartbreaker," which solidified her place in a class of women who were taking the rock world by storm in the late '70s. In the Heat of the Night was an album that obviously had its share of filler, but the one-two ...

True Love
(1991)

by
Pat Benatar
A radical departure from the type of slick pop/rock she'd been embracing on albums like Tropico and Wide Awake in Dreamland, True Love found Pat Benatar embracing blues and early pre-rock R&B. Opting for less production and a much rawer approach, an inspired Benatar ditches the synthesizers and keyboards and sounds like she's leading a bar band in ...

Several compilations have appeared in the years since it first hit the shelves, but Best Shots remains the finest Pat Benatar collection yet assembled, largely because it is the most concise. True, there may be a few lesser hits missing in favor of a couple newly recorded songs -- "Sex as a Weapon," "Treat Me Right," "I Need a Lover," "Little Too ...

Gravity's Rainbow marked Pat Benatar's return to arena rock after the dismal failure of her blues album True Love. While it well-produced and carefully constructed, the album failed to capture an audience. Although she had returned to the sound that made her famous, both radio and the record-buying public had lost interest and the album slipped ...

Madacy's Rock On 1983 shows just how popular the new wave style had become. Of the 12 songs the compilers picked to represent the year, eight could be considered new wave to some degree. Thomas Dolby's "She Blinded Me with Science," Naked Eyes' "Always Something There to Remind Me," and the Tubes' "She's a Beauty" are the best of this bunch. The ...

Some of these artists -- Genesis, Dire Straits, Billy Idol, or Duran Duran, for example -- qualify more as album rock than arena rock, but quibbles over definition aside, this is a pretty good ...
