Cheesy, but some of that Raspberries stuff was a precursor to great bands like Cheap Trick and the 'mats.  RIP Mr. Carmen.

Dude was a nut, but one of the greatest power pop writers ever.

Hungry Eyes was a jam, fuck any haters.

Remember watching this on Midnight Special and being amazed at the different hair styles.....  I thought, "how do these 5 guys even know each other, much less be in the same band".   I think this album (8 track) might have been in my initial Columbia order.

Fuckin A, let's get some up in here.

 

 

Loved this one when I was a kid.  Listening just now, was struck at how it has the same electric piano sound and vocals as some of the songs on the Beach Boys 1977 album "Beach Boys Love You".  Sure enough, both were recorded the same year and that is Brian Wilson and Bruce Johnston on backing vocals.

Bet that hair doesn’t decompose for 60 years if he’s not creamated.

John Lennon was a fan of this one.  I am too.  That means Lennon had great taste.  

RIP, Mr. Carmen.  You wrote some really good ones.
