Jeopardy is not obscure around there - Greg Kihn is a local DJ and I hear "Jeopardy" and "The Break Up Song" at least twice a week! :D

Ditto, like the Break Up Song, but can't even listen to Jeopardy without thinking of Wierd Al's rendition. :lol: Like the Tubes too, they used to have another hit that I really liked also, can't think of it off the top of my head though. LOL NIG I'll bet our old record collections looked pretty similar. :lol:

Gawd if I hear Turn Me Loose (Loverboy) one more time. :roll: That song was soooooooo over-played here.

Split Enz---I Got You
Major Tom---Peter Schilling
Nu Shooz---I Can't Wait
Jan Hammer---Crockett's Theme
Jane Child---I Don't Want To Fall In Love
Bon Jovi---Never Say Goodbye (not exactly an obscure group, but you don't hear this one that often. One of my favorites of theirs).

They also did "Talk to You Later" which got quite a bit of airplay on MTV.
