The Feelies - The Boy with the Perpetual Nervousness

“Of the countless bands to emerge from the New York City underground during the post-punk era, few if any were as unique and influential as the Feelies; nerdy, nervous, and noisy, even decades later their droning, skittering avant-garde pop remains a key touchstone of the American indie music scene.” - AllMusic.com

For me this another one of those legendary bands that I had never heard of. When I heard them for the first time I had an immediate connection. Nervous tempo, jangley guitars, no fuss bass line. When I listen to them I can hear The Talking Heads, The Velvet Underground, sometimes even a bit of Joy DIvision.
