"Against the Wind" is the twelfth album by American rock band Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band, released in 1980 (see 1980 in music). It is Seger's only Number 1 album to date, spending 6 weeks atop the Billboard 200. It was the album that knocked Pink Floyd's massive-selling "The Wall" from the top spot. Despite it's massive success, critic Dave Marsh gave it harsh criticism: "I'd like to say that this is not only the worst record Bob Seger has ever made, but an absolutely cowardly one as well." Marsh had followed Seger since before "Night Moves", when Seger finally gained national fame, and essentially said in this review that Seger's long, tireless struggle to stardom is trivialized by this record. "He had to fight hard to prove there was still a place in rock & roll for a guy like him, and, with 'Night Moves,' he won. This is the LP that makes such a victory meaningless. ... It makes me sad, and it makes me angry (another emotion that's disappeared here, though it's often fueled Seger's finest work). Maybe rock & roll never forgets, but the best thing anybody who ever had any hope for Bob Seger can do is try not to remember Against the Wind and pray for something better next time. I wouldn't hold my breath." [ [http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/bobseger/albums/album/214614/review/5942703/against_the_wind] Dave Marsh's review of "Against the Wind"]
