I read about the passing of Doug Feiger, the lead singer of The Knack. I
always used to wonder about how as I got older, people from my youth would
start passing, and how weird that would be- MJ was indeed the strangest one,
but this one made me think about how certain artists and their style left an
indelible mark on my own style and taste in music going forward. I used to stare at the Knack's album cover and thought it was so cool- the
font, the black and white photo of some dudes looking like they were having
the time of their lives. There were a few others I used to look at and love
from a style perspective- they were 77 by the Talking Heads (listened to
that one over and over), Outlandos D'Amour by the Police, and the first Cars
album. I loved their style then and I love it now. I guess I had a thing for
type even back then but these covers still look pretty rad to me... Besides
the cool type treatments these were four albums that changed music for me
and I'm sure many others too...what were yours?
