- The Modern Lovers were an American rock band led by Jonathan Richman in the 1970s and 1980s. The original band, billed simply as "The Modern Lovers", existed from 1970–74 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 is now sometimes classed as "protopunk". It pointed the way towards much of the Punk, New Wave and Indie rock music of later decades. Their only album, the eponymous The Modern Lovers, contained stylistically unprecedented songs about dating awkwardness, growing up in Massachusetts, and love of life and the USA. Later, between 1976 and 1988, Richman used the name Modern Lovers for a variety of backing bands, always billed as "Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers. " These bands were quieter and featured more low-key, often near-childlike, songs, as Richman drew on folk-rock and other genres. Out of Richman's original bandmates, only Robinson was part of any of the other Modern Lovers incarnations.
- The Modern Lovers je americká alternativní proto punková kapela, pocházející ze státu Massachusetts. Působila v sedmdesátých letech. Frontman kapely byl Jonathan Richman.
- Groupe de rock séminal originaire de Boston, The Modern Lovers première mouture n'aura existé que trois ans, de 1970 à 1973. Jonathan Richman, son fondateur, chanteur-guitariste-compositeur, poursuivra une carrière solo attachante, parfois accompagné d'autres Modern Lovers généralement plus acoustiques et bucoliques, qui n'ont en tous cas plus rien à voir avec la version initiale du groupe et son unique album The Modern Lovers sorti en 1976, bien après sa dissolution. Ce disque fabuleux, punk-rock avant l'heure, est pour l'essentiel produit par John Cale. En 1972, les Modern Lovers avaient déjà enregistré des maquettes avec Kim Fowley, mais aucune compagnie discographique n'avait voulu sortir ces bandes dans une Amérique bien recalibrée FM et rock-prog après les tumultueuses années soixante. Les Modern Lovers retournent en studio l'année suivante avec John Cale, mais là encore personne n'est preneur. Le disque, orné d'un simple cœur stylisé sur fond bleu, ne sortira que trois ans plus tard mais le ton direct, rageur et sensible des morceaux marquera la postérité. Les Sex Pistols en reprendront le titre qui ouvre la face A, Roadrunner, écrit à dix-huit ans par Jonathan alors qu'il faisait l'aller-retour Boston-New York pour voir ses héros du Velvet Underground, dont il reprenait souvent Foggy Notion en concert.
- I The Modern Lovers sono un gruppo rock nato nel 1971 a Boston per volere del cantante e frontman Jonathan Richman. La band propose un rock'n'roll per certi versi molto vicino ai Velvet Underground (che rappresentarono per Richmand e soci un'indiscutibile fonte di ispirazione) che nel fatidico 1976, anno di pubblicazione del loro primo ed unico omonimo album in studio, però, si collocò alla perfezione tra il Proto-Punk di New York Dolls, Patti Smith e Iggy Pop solista. In seguito all'esperienza come Modern Lovers Jerry Harrison contribuì alla formazione dei Talking Heads, David Robinson si unì ai Cars, Ernie Brooks entrò nella band di Ellott Murphy e Jonathan Richman diede inizio alla sua carriera solista. Pur essendosi esposti con un solo album, i Modern Lovers diedero un apporto fondamentale al nascente punk. Non a caso i Sex Pistols li celebreranno nel loro The great Rock'n'Roll Swindle con una grezzissima cover di Roadrunner.
- The Modern Lovers waren een Amerikaanse rockgroep geleid door Jonathan Richman in de jaren '70 en '80. De originele band, die bestond van 1970-1974 maar waarvan de opnamen niet werden gereleased tot later, was zeer invloedrijk. Hun klassieke album The Modern Lovers bevatte emotionele liedjes over afspraakjes, het opgroeien in Massachusetts, en de liefde voor het leven. De klank van de band was voor een groot deel te danken aan de invloed van de The Velvet Underground, maar wees ook de weg naar de punk, New wave en indie rock van de volgende decennia.

- The Modern Lovers var ett amerikanskt rockband bildat 1970 av Jonathan Richman. Bandet, som var starkt influerade av The Velvet Underground, splittrades innan det hann släppa en riktig skiva. Den självbetitlade LP som kom ut 1976 och innehåller demoinspelningar från 1972 samt även några senare inspelningar, anses vara en av de viktigaste influenserna till punken. The Modern Lovers har reinkarnerats flera gånger med olika sättning som Jonathans Richmanns kompband, men då inte fått lika stor uppmärksamhet som originaluppsättningen.
