    5 out of 5 stars Legendary........2006-12-29

    The Bus Boys were one of the more underrated rock acts of the 80's for a multitude of reasons, not the least of which because of their bluesy leanings (which made them difficult to categorize for some). MMR'nR is probably their strongest offering, featuring some of their most vicious songwriting ("KKK" and "Johnny Soul'd Out") alongside the party jams that made them briefly famous ("Anggie" in particular).

    The treasure on this album is "Respect," a Cars-esque new wave anthem with an archetypically-80's synth riff, do-wop background vocals, and some good, old-fashioned i-can't-get-no-satisfaction-rock-and-roll lyrics.

    While the band's race would later lump them into the same catetgory as bands like Living Colour and 24-7-Spyz, their sound is more similar to the likes of Fishbone (who were their contemporaries, as I recall) and, later, Follow For Now. At any rate, Minimum Wage Rock and Roll is a lost classic, and worth every cent of what it fetches now.

    5 out of 5 stars In your face, high energy rock 'n' roll!.......2006-05-25

    Yeah, they played the "black guys doing rock 'n' roll" theme a little heavy, but if they didn't have the right, who did? Social satire aside, this is the kind of music that makes the rhythmically challenged bounce around in wishful joy. Living Colour kicked out their own brand of hard rock some years later, which included some righteous social conscience, but the Bus Boys knew how to have fun and that's what defines this album.

    5 out of 5 stars A forgotten classic.......2006-05-16

    Someone mentioned Andre 3000's Love Below and I tink they're dead-on about this album being a precursor. This is an incredible album from a great band. Grab this and American Worker, you will treasure them even if you aren't from this era!

    4 out of 5 stars The Boys are back.......2004-12-11

    I had the pleasure of seeing this band in concert in Houston, twice at local clubs. I even met the band members. What a great band and great bunch of guys.This was by far their best album. There is hardly a bad song on this album. It was one of the few black rock/new wave bands at the time but by far the best. A must have for any true 80's music fan !

    5 out of 5 stars Deja Vu All Over Again.......2004-07-04

    Looking back on the recent raise of Outkast, especially Andre's "Love Below" side of the double CD, I can't help but think of how the seeds of funk-filled rock ryhthms were first laid by none other than the Bus Boys.
    Before their inclusion on the "Ghostbusters" Soundtrack and cameo apperance as the house band in the film "48hrs", the BusBoys made a name for themselves on the Hollywood club scene playing a blend of 50's rock rhythms with a tounge-in-cheek approach to sex, politics, and race relations.
    The songs on this, their first CD, prove that this Band of Brothers could really rock. From the hard driving "D-Day" to the guitar rifts on "Did You See Me?" there is a general playfulness that underlies every song on this album.
    While this CD is a winner in it's own right,I await the CD release of the group's second effort "American Workers" which takes the same general theme of layering racial and political barbs with a nudge and a wink especially on "Soul Surfing USA", "Opportunity", and the original release of "Heart and Soul" later a hit for Huey Lewis and the News.
