Most underrated band of all time? Classic rocker with incredible lyrics, tune and delivery. Unlike today's pop crap it evokes real emotion and feeling - makes you want to laugh and cry at the same time. Johnette is so awesome.

This is the first song I heard on the radio by Concrete Blond in the late 80’s. I went to see them in Orange ca. There was about 25 in attendance. The Red Hot Chile Peppers were their opening act. True was an incredible song. And now this is the Only version of it I can find of it on KZitem. Joey, a great song, has about a million versions! I remember you, “ True”!

This is my all time favorite song. I only listen to it once and awhile...I don't know if anybody understands. This song speaks to me sooo pointently that a dose of this song once a week is more than enough. :)))

I got this record around 1987 (won it in a radio station contest), right when it came out. I love it so much. True is my favorite song. I also love Dance Along the Edge.

in 1991 this song inspired me to make a gigantic move and that was to move to California from Florida at the age of 20. I'm still here in California and so grateful that I made that step. It was super scary at the time. I knew one person out here then. It changed my life forever.

Absolute favorite song of the late 80s. I'd discovered it once I moved to California in 1989. The song really reflected my life at that time. Concrete Blonde became a staple in my music rotations for years after.

This song became a favorite of mine when Jack McCoy used it in a classic Billabong surf movie showing a FEW guys ripping a secluded, glassy left break. Since then, this is required listening when I go off on surfing or snowboarding trips...

I made a move like that in '88 from small-town N.B. to Ottawa, ONT. Scary too, for a wide-eyed kid with a head full of dreams. I have no idea who I'd be today if I'd stayed home. I had The Joshua Tree and this album with me and Johnette still sounds like a warm, wise friend.

Heard a few Concrete Blonde songs in the soundtrack of the sci-fi movie The Hidden. One stuck in my head, "Your Haunted Head". Had to buy the CD, their first. CD's just hit in '86, and it was one of my first. Love "True", the video is great! "Beware of Darkness" on their first album was written by George Harrison. I think the drummer and Jhonette Napolitano had a thing going then. She has such a sexy low voice. Saw the band live in the early 90's at Milwaukee Summerfest. Thanks for posting!

There's also plenty of good and great music, but you won't hear it on the radio anymore. That basically ended in the 80's too.
