Greg Kihn was one of the great Power Pop heroes of the 1980s, playing punchy and melodic rock & roll with enough edge for new wave fans and tuneful enough to appeal to mainstream listeners, scoring major hit singles with “The Breakup Song (They Don’t Write ‘Em)” in 1981, and “Jeopardy” in 1983. Coming out of the Northern California rock & roll scene that formed around Beserkley Records.
