YES!

Radio rocked! JoBoxers: also Boxer Beat, the whole album was almost all good... [8D]

Great 2 (?) LPs from The Busboys, I remember the first self-titled, those are all great tunes!!! I think they got the gig for the movie 'cause Eddie Murrphy liked them??? [?]

Other great lost KROQ tunes:

So Much for Everlasting Love - The Sights (1982)
Hanging Around - Stranglers (Old)
All Roads Lead to Rome - Stranglers (1982)

I lived in Pasa' Dena when Freddy Snakeskin, Dusty Street, and Jedum Fishum were on The Roq of the '80.

Anyway, let me add to the list with some artists and songs that have gone unmentioned.

Trio - Da Da Da

Ultravox - Reap the Wild Wind
The Call - The Walls Came Down
Fishbone - Party At Ground Zero
The Toyes - Smoke Two Joints
Blancmange - Don't Tell Me
China Crisis - Fire And Steel
Laurie Anderson - Sharkey's Day
Suicidal Tendecies - Institutionalized
Siouxsie & the Banshees - Spellbound

Hope some of those ring a bell for you all. [:D]

OOPS!
The Toyes are already mentioned...my mistake...

So in thier place I offer

ABC - 15 Story Halo

<br>Here are some more examples that I've already used on the previous volumes, but this may give you an idea of what I'm looking for (and I'm definitely going to use a few that have been mentioned already!):

PAT WILSON-Bop Girl

DRAGON-Rain

SPAZ
Born of innocence. Free of ignorance.

I'd had not heard either of these songs until a week ago (obviously I never listened to KROQ[:D]) had heard OF Bop Girl..

What great tunes!! Quite a 1-2 punch (or should I say 2-3 punch, nudge-nudge[:o)])

Did Dragon do anything else that approaches this gem[?]

Their AMG listing intrigues me. They talk about them being a "notoriously decadent" prog rock band from NZ from the early 70s! Then going thru some re-orgs until finally coming up with their huge hit "Rain" years later. I'd love to hear other stuff but it's not the kind of thing I necessarily wanna shell out 20 bucks here and there for some scattered vinyl. There looks to be a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Snake-Eyes-Paradise-Greatest-1976-1989/dp/B00000G6CO/sr=1-1/qid=1158111884/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-4017521-1381709?ie=UTF8&s=music">'76-'89greatest hits</a> thru some Amazon resellers that I might pick up.

Re-reading this thread I'm reminded of another obscure goody from K 'ROQ's early days:

"From The Air" by Laurie Anderson. [8D]
