This truly was one of the finest voices of rock and roll; one of the most distinctive voices for sure! I remember listening to the debut album in my early teens (in the 80s) incessantly, when this album was already considered a classic; one of my fav radio stations at the time (the zoo from dallas) used to play it in it’s entirity! Those were the days! Never did buy Corporate America, sad to say but I did love Don’t Look back and Third Stage. What always got me was these guys were not your average rockers, they were brainers! MIT Students! Cool! I got older and my tastes in music matured as well but you always love what you grew up on, the classics … Rest in peace, Brad
