Decent Albums of the 90s: Richard Marx - Rush Street

Welcome to part ___ of my series on 1990s albums that i still find tolerable today.  This is part of post deluge of April 30, 2011.

This post is all about Richard Marx's 1991 follow-up to Repeat Offender, Rush Street.  Richard Marx has long been a favorite artist of mine, growing up with my older sister playing the album in heavy rotation.  There is something about his songs that i find appealing - maybe because i like love songs and his writing/production style.  He doesn't exactly have the greatest voice.  Richard Marx was the first concert that i ever went to - the Paid Vacation tour (the album after this one).  It was an awesome concert despite him being kind of heavily medicated with cold medicine (at times it really showed) - it was at the Puyallup Fair.   This was one of the first two CDs that i ever purchased (i want to say at a Target or Fred Meyer).

Notable Singles:
* "Keep Coming Back"
* "Hazard"
* "Take This Heart"
* "Chains Around My Heart"

Other Songs On This CD That i Kind of Really Like:
* "Hands In Your Pocket"
* "Big Boy Now" - i listened to this song a lot after my dad died

Other Songs On This CD That i Kind of Like
* "Playing With Fire"
* "Love Unemotional"
* "Calling You"
* "Superstar"
* "Streets of Pain"
* "I Get No Sleep"
* "Your World"
