When you spend high school in the San Joaquin valley 'Fresno/Clovis' you'll had heard 3 lifetimes worth of bad co. by the the time you graduated...and plenty of Stix ,Rush, Supertramp,Cheap trick,def leppard...
I know what you mean, I was burned out on the Cars in 1979 after hearing it 24/7 in 78.
Every boom box and car was playing the Cars album , The school even played over the intercom at lunchtime. lol
