Wasn't meaning that, was meaning none of the three are remotely AOR either.

A man of my impeccable musical taste can certainly state that Petty / Cars / C Trick can never be put into the same genre as Journey / Styx / REO fuckin' Speedwagon / Chicago etc al.

nearer that than new wave mate, granted cheap trick can be quite power poppy but the flame for example is as foreigner/boston/reo speedwagon as you can get

They hate The Flame ... forced on them by the record company.

Actually, try listening to their debut, and songs such as He's A Whore, Hot Love, Ballad Of TV Violence and Daddy Should Have Stayed In High School could sneak in as new wave

Never before seen pics of The Clash, Billy Idol, The Sex Pistols

Photographer Michael Grecco recalls the decade he embedded himself in the festering underground of punk music during the late 1970s and 80s with a set of unseen images of The Clash and Billy Idol.

How I wish I could just go back 40 years, just to appreciate what we had. It’s never got better for me, those photos brought back huge melancholy memories, fantastic.

Same month I bought "Closer" I bought "2 Million Voices". This track very untypical but great lyric.
