Yep, you are right about the order.
Thanks.
We’re hoping things will turn around, now that the Dark Age is over.
Me too.
The dogs are tap dancing.
Time to go stand out in the cold with them.
Night!
That is one killer song. Couldn’t find it for years as I forgot the lyrics. When I did, I listened to it for a half hour straight. The violin player from “The Corrs” does a pretty good cover of it.

The whole album is great.
Teen angst, doomed love sort of stuff.
And this, which is just hilarious...

If they want “obscure” I’d say ditch the MTV popstars and go alternative.
- Beasts of Bourbon (Axeman’s Jazz album, from Australia, channeling bits of the Cramps and Jim Morrison and a pre-cursor to grunge (save me a place))
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiWm8ajqcQE&list=PLBFCFFFD612D44321 (Beasts Of Bourbon - Axemans Jazz album)
- Treat Her Right (Mark Sandman’s main group, pre-Morphine)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8f8HciNGwM (I Think She Likes Me)
- The Rats (Fred and Tody Cole, post-Lollipop Shoppe and The Weeds, pre-Dead Moon and Poisoned Arrows, for a performer from the 1960s, he continues to sound contemporary even as he continues in the 21st century)

Also Bongwater (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbw7NJLWPw4 live tv performance of You Don’t Love Me Yet) and some of Kramer’s other bands (Ball https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDIk5AkNe7Q, maybe not so much Shockabilly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=739i3ASzgwk)
The Fleshtones began in 1976 but didn’t get an album out for years, but they are always underrated in any decade.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qM1fFwYoNUA (La La La La Reprise (Live At Gibus Club, Paris, France /1985) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVdGDWtdc4E (Hexbreaker + Supervindicator (Live 80’s))
I’m sure there have to be some paisley underground bands worth mentioning (apart from the XTC side-project Dukes of the Stratosphere)
Heck, watch Urgh! A Music War and you’ll probably find more overlooked 80s bands worth investigating:

Can’t top Motorhead, sorry, lol.
Well, now, that is a given!
:D
I meant John, sorry.
The comedians then hadn’t “studied” comedy by watching 200 hours of reruns.
Same with cartoons these days, they are “funny” because they are doing something they saw that was funny once. Or because it’s a hip reference and wait for it, now the audience gets it. Ha.
SNL needs to get off the air and let the local affiliates return to showing old movies.
The humor of National Lampoon (and SNL’s early days) was in part a revolt against the political correctness of the hippie liberals.
Pretty sure I still have the US vinyl of that. Because the Night is *her* song, I don’t care if Springsteen wrote it, she owns it, musically.
The Drangos.
Meanwhile, speaking of voices, on the other side of the world was this:

Yep! The World Famous K-R-O-Q!
Yep! The World Famous K-R-O-Q!
Oy! Every once in awhile, I get that song into my head and just have to listen to it. I'm about to pull up youtube now. I wasn't even thinking about it until I read your post. Thanks a lot!!!
Bfl!
I like and listen to some of these groups to this day: Klymaxx, Bow Wow Wow and Book of Love. I paid again for their music when I switched over to Amazon Music from iTunes. Good stuff.
