“Der Kommissar” by After the Fire (Falco)

“I Ran (So Far Away)” by A Flock of Seagulls

Those are great, for 80's stuff. I liked Animotion - You are an obsession, back then.

[dfwgator]

I thought A Flock of Seagulls also had a hit with “Space Age Love Song”

Jigsaw ~ Sky High

One of a half dozen 45's I bought as a kid. Still have it.

Dang. You can’t compete with Zappa’s oeuvre

[I-ambush]

I listen to KSHE Klassics online on Sunday mornings. KSHE real rock radio. Turn it up!!

[Golden Eagle]

Could have been. Per Wikipedia it hit #30 in US. I was responding to another person’s picks though, if you want to see mine, they are here:

Always interested in your comments, especially on music!

Nena ~ 99 Luftballons

Great choice! Awesome beat.

Starbuck ~ Moonlight Feels Right (Excellent Xylophone solo!)

[2CAVTrooper]

It reached #30 on the Billboard 100. 🤷‍♂️

Saw her play with Zappa in the 70s. Beacon Theater maybe?

I’ve also seen Lionel Hampton live.

So, yeah I was engaging in a bit of hyperbole

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Gay State Conservative...

[dfwgator]

I’d also put Gary Burton up there.

[Michael.SF.]

Thanks for that. The song is from late ‘59, but I would guess the recording to be from ‘60. Which would match for Levon Helm and Robbie Robertson, but not for the piano player.

I also see Roy Buchanan was in the line-up for a couple of years. Buchanan was one guy who was under appreciated as a guitarist, having never got the level of national attention he deserved.
