The Modern Lovers were an American rock band led by Jonathan Richman in the 1970s and 1980s. The original band existed from 1970 to 1974 but their recordings were not released until 1976 or later. It featured Richman and bassist Ernie Brooks with drummer David Robinson and keyboardist Jerry Harrison. The sound of the band owed a great deal to the influence of the Velvet Underground and the Stooges,and is now sometimes classified as "proto-punk". It pointed the way towards much of the punk rock,new wave,alternative and indie rock music of later decades. Their only album,the eponymous The Modern Lovers,contained idiosyncratic songs about dating awkwardness,growing up in Massachusetts,love of life,and the USA.
