I picked this scrubby-looking record up a few weeks ago, and despite the condition, it’s awesome. The Nazz was Todd “Hello, It’s Me” Rundgren’s first band and I picked it up for one reason only—the opening track “Open My Eyes.” It just might be the perfect Power Pop song, packed with fuzzed-out guitars, stellar harmonies, gurgling church organ and a relentless, slammin’ beat. It’s one of those rare songs that if, after the first time you hear it, you pause before putting it on again, it’s only because you have to stop and say “where has this song been all my life?!” Look it up on YouTube or your favorite streaming service and prepare to have super happy rock music stuck in your head all day.
