I loved the "dirty" songs of the Knack as a teenager.

Definitely a bummer.

Ge the Knack was probably the first album I ever bought with my own money. In addition to My Sharona, I also wore out Your Name or Your Number. It was a great year for music. I remember buying Michael Jackson's Off the Wall that same summer.

I remember getting the 8-track of Get the Knack. :shock:

Other 8 tracks in my collection back then:

Donnie Osmond
Super Tramp

It's never good news when an icon passes. RIP.

Whoda' thought something soooo cool could come from two G's an octave apart?

Didn't the original drummer pass away years ago?

:cry:
