"Hurts Too Much" by The Rubinoos

The Rubinoos are a little-known power pop band that scored a single chart appearance in 1977 when their rendition of "I Think We're Alone Now" topped out at #45. Kids of the 80s might also remember their popular geek anthem, "Revenge Of The Nerds." Unfortunately, this California band could not gain any traction and faded into obscurity, remembered only to a handful of loyal power pop fans.

"Hurts Too Much" had all the makings of a hit to my ears, but it never had the chance. The song was an early 80s demo that didn't find its way to the surface until 1993 on the band's compilation record called "Basement Tapes."
