I loved the David Werner album too - and was fortunate to see him live on
that tour. It was great!
For me, it was Scott Wilk and The Walls "Radioactive"... I had to pull over
the car to listen and drove right to Tower Records (only a few blocks away,
fortunately). Later Scott Wilk headed Bone Symphony, another great record.

It's 1979. I'm a high school senior who has become a full-fledged,
skinny-tie New Waver in terms of musical taste. Syracuae's 95X, which was
far from being the most ambitious rock station in American radio with regard
to playlist eclecticism, starts playing a turbocharged power pop number
called "Can't Imagine" by some guy named David Werner. I run out and buy his
newly-released eponymous album. It turns out to be an amazing disc, running
a surprising gamut of styles but packed with energy, hooks, and tough
guitars on just about every song.
Werner vanished into the ether as a recording artist, never to release
another album. (He's since become a low-profile songwriter and producer who
has worked with people ranging from Billy Idol to Tom Jones.) But *David
Werner* remains one of my all-time favorite albums to this day.
