DON’T WAIT FOR THE MOVIE – White Heart (1986) – The first five White Heart albums, from their eponymous debut (with Steve Green as lead vocalist!) through Emergency Broadcast each had defining tracks as the band successfully tread the ground between contemporary rock, radio-friendly ballads, and heavy metal. The later works were somewhat more ordinary. Don’t Wait for the Movie makes the list because its musical and production quality is outstanding without being overbearing, and it is easily the most consistent work of the first five -- not to mention the best album cover of them all.
Ironically, it was a debut album of sorts, with a new lead singer (Rick Florian replacing Scott Douglas). Each of the other four albums is worth hearing, and Emergency Broadcast features their best song of the decade (No Taboo), but Movie is the best of the bunch.
