R.I.P. Roye Albrighton (guitar-vocals) of Nektar.


Here's a clip of Nektar at the Power Station in '81, playing a song from their 1980 album Man in the Moon. It was their last album till they regrouped for The Prodigal Son 20 years later.

Is it me or does this sound a lot like Bon Scott's AC/DC?

"Oh Ruby", Dirty Looks, late 80s. Heard it a lot in SoCal.

So this was released in 1979, the re-released a year later in 1980, where it briefly charted. A punk/post-punk/wave sound, although those stage moves from the lead singer, Pearl Harbor, aka Pearl E. Gates... what is that?

Pearl Harbor and the Explosions, "Drivin'".

He was better known for "Fool (If You Think It's Over)" from 1978, but Chris Rea's 1989 Road to Hell album produced "Texas" and the title track (two versions below). Very underrated artist.

A Dutch guy from Indonesia named after a Mexican food singing an Irving Berlin song... doesn't get much more 80's than this!
