You are welcome to enjoy the recent “DOH!” moment I had. Remember “Cars” by Gary Numan? That’s about the worst thing he ever did.
Look up Tubeway Army (band) and the “Replicas” album Followed by The Pleasure Principle and Telekon under his own name. His entire catalog with a couple exceptions is incredibly good. His later stuff is musically outstanding but goes off into his athestic crap lyrically. But the first 5-6 albums are diverse and entertaining.
IMO, his best song ever

Down in the Park
I listened, fast forwarded past the pop bulls**t, and damn if he wasn't right. The rest of the album kicked ass.
I love Nine Inch Nails, almost all his stuff. Reznor is a musical genius. He also worked with Marilyn Manson quite a bit, and I actually admit to liking a little of Manson’s stuff, probably because I hear Reznor in there.
Read the lyrics (it accompanies the song) with an eye toward the totalitarian state America is 80% transititoned to..... very eye opening.... seems Reznor got it before the rest of us....
I think I like Numan’s “Replicas” more than “Down in the park”.
