10 - This video appears to be from a few years later. Sly’s influence can’t be overstated.

Day 12 - In 1978, New Wave was a kind of fringe genre, very much on the outside. Within a year there were bands and songs that were (happily) inescapable, especially this one.

9. Their earlier classic singles (My Generation, The Kids Are Alright etc) weren’t hits in the States, but by 1967 The Who started becoming stars here. Two years later with Tommy, they were as big as anyone.

Day 11 - Even the grumpy holdouts who at the time condescendingly hated punk and new wave liked The Pretenders. Just a shame that heroin tore this lineup apart.

7. A teenage Alex Chilton didn’t sing with his natural voice here, this was some impression he was doing in a rehearsal and he was told to record it that way. He obviously didn’t sound like this with Big Star.

Day 10. Jersey Girl from Hawthorne sings a tribute to a Jersey Girl from Haworth in Asbury Park. Jersey’s got this.

Day 9. Circa 1980 or 81, a girlfriend dragged me to see The Police. The night was saved by The Go-Go’s opening for them; note to Sting, never have a warmup band that’s more entertaining than yours.

One of those songs where the cover became the definitive version…to the point where many don’t realize it’s a cover.
