Gary Numan Pleasure Principle LP
Most Americans aren't familiar with Gary Numan. Sure, nearly everyone knows the hook to "Cars," but most people nowadays would be hard pressed to name the guy who actually did it. That's really a shame, since Gary Numan is arguably the most influential one-hit-wonder in pop music.
Numan's 1979 debut, THE PLEASURE PRINCIPLE, more than demonstrates that. With his clinically sterile synth work and icy vocals, Numan jump-started New Wave into a commercial phenomenon in the early '80s, and laid the groundwork for modern electronic rock. The sci-fi lyricism of this album, combined with its undeniable pop appeal, makes it a neccessary album for those with even the slightest interest in early new wave or electronica.
