Wowz - Wish I'd known this Canteen theme was coming up! - I've got a pretty good list of one-hit wonders and good tunes from popular bands that get rare to nonexistent airplay these days. Unfortunately the list is handwritten at this time :( Not yet transferred to the computer age.
Even so - here's a few - - - - -
This Beat Goes On/Switching To Glide by The Kings from the album 'The Kings Are Here' (1980) (party rock from the Great White North!)
Don't Leave Me This Way by The Ravyns (not to be confused with the Ravens) - from the album 'The Ravyns' (1984)
I've Got A Lot To Learn About Love by The Storm, from the album 'The Storm' (1992) (they sounded sorta like Journey)
The Circle by Max Carl (of .38 Special fame) - song most well known of the "Weird Science" movie soundtrack (1985)
Should I See by Frozen Ghost (formerly known as the band Sheriff), from the album 'Frozen Ghost' (1987)
