He got kind of overplayed in the 80's. Seems like his songs were in every fucking movie and MTV played the shit out of his videos in that era. Kind of wore me out.
But his pre-MTV stuff is awesome. Old Time Rock N Roll is fine in small doses if the accompanying video shows Rebecca DeMornay up against the wall. If I never heard Shakedown again in my life, it would be too soon.
Agree. Up until the last 7-8 years, none of his stuff was “officially” streaming, by choice. When asked about it, he said (paraphrasing), “Ask my manager. That’s his deal. I play music”. He was one of a very few that I regret missing live.
