Get The Knack LP

Most everyone knows The Knack’s Get the Knack because of the ubiquitous smash “My Sharona,” a contagious hit that still plays countless times everyday on radio stations nationwide. But the appeal and significance of the Los Angeles quartet’s 1979 debut extend far beyond the career-making single. Loaded with tight power pop, hummable hooks, blunt lyrics, and precision playing, the controversy-igniting Get the Knack resonates with an ageless freshness that’s influenced everyone from Kurt Cobain to modern indie artists such as the Mountain Goats.
