Got The Knack?

Posted over 2 years ago
In the current world of music _The Knack_ will only be remembered for one song "My Sharona", which is not a bad song to be remembered for! But the world in which I would like to live in, the one where upon birth each newborn is bestowed with 250 of the best albums ever made (the albums would be there for them to use as reference material like the dictionary, the Encyclopedia Britannica and the crystals of knowledge in the Fortress of Solitude), the entirety of "Get the Knack" would be known by all generations, young and old. (Alright, I'm getting a little heavy handed here!) But seriously, everytime I put this album on I always say to myself "Damn, that's good!" Back in this world they will go down with the "One Hit Wonder" tag on their ass but for me and my alternate universe this whole album join's my other 249 in it's place in glory.

  2. Cody B says Sharp as a needle, these cats were. If Big Star is in the 250 they should be right by them.
