0014: The 100 Best Rock Albums (91-100)

The title track to Mellencamp's Human Wheels album is not only the albums's most finer moments, which expresses John's most inner-felt sadness of lost life with the hopes of new life rebirth, but is also one of the more complex tunes of rok and roll. The song is rich in darkened overtones with the use of varying instruments to complement each other along with John's own darkest vocals.

Comparitively, When Jesus Left Birmingham is pathetic when matched with one of John's most shining moments of his entire 25+ year career. And that needed to be acknowledged.
