The Boomtown Rats's Ratrospective

Description: In 1983, The Boomtown Rats marked a turning point with *Ratrospective*, a compilation that looked back on their snarl-and-synth ascent while hinting they’d soon move on. The NYC cover scene plants these Irish rabble-rousers at 1000 5th Ave, right by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where uptown polish collides with their punk-bred, socially barbed persona. Standing in this spot, you can almost hear the echo of “Rat Trap” and “I Don’t Like Mondays” bouncing off the stone facades, as if their greatest hits had briefly taken over Museum Mile. Trace that visual time capsule in person as one of the stops in the MusicRoadTrip.com App.
