I probably should've done this about a year ago - I think that's when Robert Hazard died ... Mr. Hazard really wasn't much of an influence to music outside of the early 1980's, but his sound seems to be coming back in a lot of the newer 80's influenced groups of this era.
Specifically, his song "Escalator of Life" has that classic 80's sound to it. But man, does it still rock. It sports a great beat, fantastic baseline, and a chorus that is infectious.
Just a little bit more information on Mr. Hazard courtesy of Wikipedia:
* He was born in Philly (can't go wrong with that).
* The song "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" was written by him ... seriously.
* He died August 5, 2008.
