Rare CD: Greg Kihn Band "Kihnspiracy"


Greg Kihn, who loves to title his albums with a play on his last name, is a virtual one hit wonder best known for "Jeopardy," which was so huge in the 80s that Weird Al made a parody of it. Of course, the Greg Kihn Band did have additional chart success, such as the earlier classic "The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em)" from 1981. "Kihnspiracy" was released in 1983 and went to #15 on the BillBoard album chart, propelled by that "Jeopardy" hit, which just missed the #1 spot on the Hot 100.

Some of his CDs are quite rare and hard to come by. For example, a copy of this CD sold for $50.99 on ebay (5 bids).
It is currently going for $44.50 on Amazon.com. Check now.
