Mad Love (Linda Ronstadt Album)
''Mad Love'' is the tenth studio album by singer Linda Ronstadt, released in 1980. It debuted at #5 on the ''Billboard'' album chart, a record at the time and a first for any female artist, and quickly became her seventh consecutive album to sell over one million copies. It was certified platinum and nominated for a Grammy. The album reflected the advent in the later 1970s of punk rock and new wave music. Defining their work as a programmatic return of rock music to its original principles, punk and new wave bands rejected the emphasis on virtuosity and high production values favored by the megastars of the decade, ridiculed the anti-establishment claims of lavishly-paid, jet-setting performers and deplored the increasing corporatization and homogenization of rock music. Many veteran acts, including Fleetwood Mac, Carly Simon, Heart, Queen, Joni Mitchell and James Taylor, made sincere (and often successful) efforts to revitalize their sound by adopting aspects of the stripped-d ...
