RockerMike and Rob Presents:Steve Allen and Ron Flynt from the band 20/20


20/20 was a power pop band that emerged in the late 1970s, known for their melodic hooks, jangly guitars, and tight harmonies. Originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma, the band was formed by Steve Allen (vocals, guitar) and Ron Flynt (vocals, bass), later relocating to Los Angeles to join the burgeoning power pop scene alongside bands like The Knack and The Plimsouls.


They gained recognition with their self-titled debut album, 20/20 (1979), which featured standout tracks like “Cheri” and “Yellow Pills”—the latter becoming a cult classic in the power pop genre. Their sound blended the British Invasion influences of bands like The Beatles and The Who with the punchy energy of new wave.


Despite critical acclaim, mainstream success eluded them, and they released a few more albums, including Look Out! (1981) and Sex Trap (1982), before disbanding. However, 20/20 remains highly regarded among power pop enthusiasts, and their music continues to be rediscovered by fans of the genre.
