Hall of Fame:
1983-present
Glen Burtnick
"Talking In Code"
Released in 1986
Glen Burtnick is an artist from New Jersey that will always be the one that shoulda been 'the next one from NJ' in my opinion. I was 16 when I saw him open for Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes at the Garden State Arts Center. I remember knowing all of the lyrics by the time I walked back to our car.
His debut album is a lost 1980s gem. He would go on to record some more solo albums, join Styx, and later The Weeklings... but this debut album remains close to my heart.
