Do you even Gary Wilson?

I don't think so. I searched it and he's only been mentioned 4 times in the last 4 1/2 years (and yes, all by me).

For all of the obscure, underappreciated 70's/80's music love on here, you'd think at least one other person would know You Think You Really Know Me. Educate yo'selves.

Sounds good to me but I wouldn't expect the ILF hoi polloi to like him. Not enough current buzzwords to describe his sound and it doesnt bear any similarity to Pantera or The Smiths.

Pretty sure he had a big influence on Cobraman:

This is one of those records that is always described as 'influential' but I don't really see it.

It influenced other people not to sound like him.

I'll probably pick this up.

In that regard, then, he's no different than the Smiths.

Ouch. That's a bit over the top as casecandy will soon explain.

On the plus side, now I actually know what Beck is talking about when he references Gary Wilson, so I'm a more culturally complete huuumunn beeen. Thanks snipes!

That just sounds like JV Can to me. You're usually super on point so maybe I'm just dumb.

Confirmed: D.o.S. is not a real groovy girl and doesn't make out.
