Why are people always saying, Anyone listening in (present year) ? As long as you're still digging the band, why do you need to know if anyone else is still in the same boat? I still listen to tons of music years later, but I don't need to ask if the bands are still relevant, because I think they are still great. Haha, sorry but I guess I'm just tired of watching the same comments everywhere.

I had the pleasure of meeting Pat DiNizio, Jim Babjak and Dennis Diken. Three truly great guys who love music, love each other and their fans. RIP Pat you will always be missed. Thank you for excellent songs such as "A Girl Like You" A true Rock and Roll classic.

Quite possibly the best rock band to ever come out of New Jersey! The Smithereens were incredible musicians and songwriters extraordinaire! Go see them on tour (although without the great Pat DiNizio... RIP)!

Pat DiNizio rules. Another banger from the author of the soundtrack to my adolescence. Thanks, Pat and guys.

Man, I love this band so much. I had their greatest hits and listened to it constantly on repeat. To me, this group was vastly underrated in a time when there was very overrated music. RIP to Pat.

I saw them live, they were really good. Rest in peace my man. Good rock is about that riff. Simple but hard.

The best video by one of the best bands to come out of America in the 1980's. Only these guys and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers in the USA, Dire Straits in England, U2 in Ireland and AC/DC out of Australia kept Rock and Roll alive in this barren era after punk. The Smithereens were always underrated, and Pat's lyrical voice underscored by heavy metal rhythm has never been duplicated.

Great post Tonya! The Smithereens were, quite possibly, the best band to come out of not only New Jersey, but all of the U.S. 'back in the day'! Incredible songwriters and musicians, to say the least. Cheers!

Damn, but this brings back some memories. Good times, man: the late '80s rocked (well, the mid-'80s were fun, too). ❤

True. These guys didn’t need bells or whistles. They always had well-written songs and a kick-ass band to play them.

Yeah, they should have been, I'll agree! I'm a Jersey boy, so of course I'm gonna say that! But seriously, these guys were awesome during my teenage years, no question! :-)
