theStart Shakedown! Yeah, this L.A. quartet's debut might have been the best album of 1983 with all its synth squiggles and singer Aimee Echo's sprite delivery. But Shakedown! offers that rare mix of sheen ("Dirty Lion"), quirkiness, ("Hang On Me") and crunching urgency ("Nemesis")that risies above mere forgettable pop fodder. Way more fun than an all No-Doubt weekend on MTV.
