Older songs you've downloaded, but never heard

[Whi$tlin' Pete]

Lately, I've been downloading songs from the 70's, 80's and 90's that I never knew when they were released, because they are so obscure, they didn't perform well on the chart. I look through my Billboard book, year by year, and download one hit wonders, or songs by artists that I like, but the particular hit bombed. I've come across some real gems. These include:

"Island Of Lost Souls" - Blondie (Excellent song)
"Alien" - Atlanta Rhythm Secton (Excellent song)
"The Bomb (These Sounds Fall Into My Mind)" - The Bucketheads
"Bad Boy" - Ray Parker Jr.
"Hanging On A String" - Loose Ends
"Route 101" - Herb Alpert
"Eye To Eye" - Go West
"Body Rock" - Maria Vidal
"Murphy's Law" - Cheri
"So You Win Again" - Hot Chocolate

I have heard 70% of what you posted there. I did not hear that Go West song until I bought the Greatest Hits collection. "Body Rock" was a huge hit in the UK, my junior high school peers used to spin this alot 20 years ago. Cool song. And good choices! I will post mine later.
