They came surprisingly close! "Sitting in your place"That was the radio friendly version. I love The Knack. They never got the recognition they deserved because they were instructed by their label not to do a lot of press. They were tagged as a Beatles rip off band, and they did little to dispel the stories and as a result paid the price.
Look up The Knack Carnegie Hall on YouTube. Their whole concert is there. So good!

I couldn't believe how well the guitarist could pull off the My Sharona solo. I listened to that album all the time.

I had some time on my hands, and sat down and tried to make a list, off the top of my head, of the albums that had the most impact to me, and then I researched when they were released. Of course, this is a completely subjective exercise, but, what I found, in general, was that these albums fell into a general region I have since called "The Golden Age of Rock and Roll". From Revolver to Animals. (Not to say, there have not been fabulous albums since then, but never in such a concentrated era.) Here's my list:
1966
Revolver
1967
The Doors
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
Are You Experienced
Strange Days
Disraeli Gears
Magical Mystery Tour
1968
Waiting for the Sun
Shades of Deep Purple
Electric Ladyland
Beggar’s Banquet
White Album
1969
Surrealistic Pillow
Led Zeppelin
Chicago Transit Authority
Crosby Stills & Nash
Santana
Abbey Road
In the Court of the Crimson King
Led Zeppelin II

Love his channelThe channel is also worth viewing to learn how his goal to educate has led to some interesting lessons on copyright and YouTube demonetization he passionately explains.

Rick Beato on Jeff BeckI always kind of saw it as Jeff Beck took the dare from Jimi Hendrix and he aced it.

"If for some reason, there’s still confusion, Dropkick Murphys’ new album This Machine Still Kills Fascists will clear it up. The record finds Casey and the band setting their supercharged brand of music to the lyrics of Woody Guthrie, the quintessential folk-protest singer and Oklahoma native who championed the working class and famously scribbled “This machine kills fascists” on his acoustic guitar. There are stomping anthems castigating “crooks,” “robbers,” and “rats” (“Ten Times More”), shout-alongs celebrating unions (“All You Fonies”), and smoldering indictments of wealthy hypocrisy and cruelty (“The Last One”).
Dropkick Murphys worked closely with the folksinger’s daughter Nora Guthrie and the Woody Guthrie Center in Tulsa — where the group recorded the LP with producer Ted Hutt — to scour Guthrie’s archives for previously unpublished lyrics. The band had already cut two of Guthrie’s compositions in their career, “Gonna Be a Blackout Tonight” and their best-known song, “I’m Shipping Up to Boston.”
