His voice (cringe), his music (ugh) and his hair helmet.

Great deep cut:

would be so mad to be alive in 1982 and witness the debut of this song and then "welp guess I'll never hear that again but I will inquire at the music store next time I go into town"

“Do you know a song that goes do doo do do do doo do?”

what's the name of the song they sampled for Regulate

Realized a year or two ago that Minute By Minute sounds a bit like if the Grateful Dead decided to make an album of top-10 pop smashes.
