That's a very good question. I like "Nothing compares to u" by Sinead O'Connor, and "Just a friend" by Biz Markie. I couldn't name another song that either of these singers released.

Dexy's Midnight Runners, Modern English, and ChumbaWumba (who were only one hit wonders in THIS country).

Not my favorite, but I can't remember who did "Mexican Radio"

I can name a ton of them, but off the top of my head, Billy Thorpe's "Children of the Sun."

Billy was a megastar in his native Australia, but "Children" was his only acclaim on this side of the Pacific pond.

Something About You---Level 42.....I'm a metal fan, but there is something about that song that I like.

Brandy by Looking Glass. That song has incredible vocals & feeling. Everytime I hear it I wanna sing along to the chorus. It never gets old.

Autograph-Turn Up the Radio. I think that's the only song that made it for them.
