The closest thing I can think of is a momentary connection with The Police but only their second album (especially Bed's Too Big Without You) - and I still stand by most of Regatta de Blanc and consider it their peak. I couldn't care less about the rest of their output. Otherwise, I was that Gang Of Four, Siouxsie, Public Image Ltd., The Clash, Joy Division, Raincoats, Elvis Costello, Talking Heads, Young Marble Giants, Bad Brains, Parliament, Sugar Hill Gang, James Brown, Brian Eno, Ornette Coleman, Glenn Branca, Miles Davis, Dennis Brown, Bob Marley, Lee Perry, David Bowie, and Jimi Hendrix-loving high school kid of myth and legend.
