THE DICTATORS: Manifest Destiny Vinyl LP
The Bronx's finest proto-punk goofballs, second album, full power.
Manifest Destiny (1977) doubles down on everything that made Go Girl Crazy! a cult favorite -- dumb jokes, real hooks, and a wall of guitars that splits the difference between bar-band boogie and the Ramones-style three-chord assault that was breaking out downtown at CBGB. "Search and Destroy" (the Stooges cover) and "Heartache" sit alongside the band's own brand of beer-soaked, wrestling-obsessed Americana. A criminally underrated link between 70s hard rock and the punk explosion that followed.
Fans may like: The Ramones, New York Dolls, Cheap Trick, MC5, Iggy and the Stooges.
