Re: Celebration of "No Fun Aloud"
Happy 34th to "No Fun Aloud"!!! :D I love this album so much too and like AG so glad it's on Spotify since I can't listen to my parents cassette tape anymore. LOL It's such a great album. I remember my Mom playing her keyboard along with "The One You Love", and us teasing my Dad he was trying to style his hair off of Glenn's on the cover back in the 80s. LOL Also love "I Volunteer" and that song is on my playlist for my new novel I'm working on (it's the one I posted about before that has a ton of Eagles songs on it and this is the Glenn solo song I mentioned) as it fits so much with the story I'm creating from my main male character's POV. :D
Re: Celebration of "No Fun Aloud"
Too funny about your dad's hair, Amanda! lol
Count me among those who adore "I Volunteer." Such vulnerability and passion in the vocal, and a great melody.

Right click the downloaded file, select the open option.
If you haven't got a program that will open the zip file, I can recommend Peazip.
Search and download Peazip. It's free.
Peazip will open the download as a folder of mp3 files. 8-)
Re: Celebration of "No Fun Aloud"
If I open the link (in Firefox) and then right-click on the play bar, I'm given the option to "Save Audio as..." and then I save as type "mp3 format sound". This saves it as a single .mp3 file. I haven't tried to split it into tracks.
Re: Celebration of "No Fun Aloud"
Just listened to it on spotify. It's a good collection of songs, with a good amount of variation. The 80s is sneaking into the production, but it shows that if they had wanted to make an 80s Eagles album, they most certainly could have.

Glenn Frey released solo LP '
No Fun Aloud' on this date in 1982. As his first solo effort, it exemplified Glenn's ability to forge his own path after leaving an iconic band. Instead of repeating the
Eagles country-rock sound, he reverted to his Detroit roots, creating his own blend of rock, pop and soul. I co-wrote 6 of the 10 songs, including both top 40 singles, "The One You Love" and "I Found Somebody". He soul lives on in his songs.
Re: Celebration of "No Fun Aloud"
Happy 35th Birthday to Glenn's very first solo album, No Fun Aloud.
Re: Celebration of "No Fun Aloud"
This is possibly my favorite Glenn solo album. My favorite songs are I Found Somebody and That Girl. The two weak songs are Partytown (although it's not a bad song; I prefer Sea Cruise as an upbeat fun number) and Don't Give Up, which I find somewhat annoying. I like everything else. Overall, a very good debut album.
Happy birthday, No Fun Aloud!
Re: Celebration of "No Fun Aloud"
My favorites are: That Girl, The One You Love, I Found Somebody, and I Volunteer. Love watching Glenn rocking out on Partytown on that Japanese concert!
Happy 35th No Fun Aloud!
