That lead break in "My Sharona" just goes on and gloriously on and basically drives me wild with delight. They were superb pop lyricists and musicians. The press set them up and tried to knock them down, which is one reason I try to listen first and read later, if at all. Yours is the best eulogy of the many I've read, so thank you.pplisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00891425078813988081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116501776625667465.post-15353104628938297212010-02-19T19:18:58.836-08:002010-02-19T19:18:58.836-08:00What was I doing with my life in 1979?

For some reason, I missed the Knack, just like I missed those Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds hits of the same year -- heard them on the radio, enjoyed them, but never focused on them. They're were such seamless power-pop, for all I knew those records could have been oldies. Thank goodness, though, I also missed the backlash against the Knack, and everything of theirs I've ever heard I've enjoyed thoroughly. You're right, they deserved better.
