    You're digging up some stuff from my DJ days. Throw in some "Show Me Love" from Robyn and you've got 1998 wrapped up.

    Procol Harum - Whiter Shade of Pale

    their albums from 67-71 are brit psychedelia at its best, if you're into that stuff.

    Procol Harum is sick! Robin Trower rivals Hendrix and Clapton with his musicianship, IMO.

    i'd also pick "don't you forget about me" from the breakfast club movie. so good nobody even knows who played it.

    i also dig "counting bllue cars" by dishwalla.

    Oh I so have to correct you there Conor. :)

    Simple Minds are no one hit wonder.

    There are more, but you get the gist! ;)

    Simple Minds Sparkle in The Rain album had a hoard of hits and is probably one of my favorite albums of all time. Not to mention their "best of" Glittering Prize.

    Their hits include:

    Waterfront
    Don't you (forget about me)
    Alive and Kicking
    Sanctify Yourself
    Love Song
    Someone Somewhere In Summertime
    All The Things She Said
    Promised You A Miracle
    Glittering Prize
    Up On The Catwalk
    Speed Your Love To Me
    Belfast Child
    Book Of Brilliant Things


    Actually Jim Kerr and the boys are to me as important as U2. They have done some amazing things in music. :)
    NOPE!!!

    being a one-hit wonder doesn't mean the rest of your catalog is no good. just means if you ask anyone who the band is, they're not gonna know more than one song. let's face it... to 99% of the world, that's the only song simple minds ever had. blind melon suffered the same fate even though their albums top almost anything else done in the 90s.

    Yeah, I think you're suffering from American music industry disease ss. :D

    Coz I'm quite sure you ask anyone here in Oz or in Europe who Simple Minds is and they'll tell you all about them. :)
    NOPE!!!
