On the slightly or more "under the radar" list during that period were a lot of one-hit wonders too. Fuzzy on exact dates but Peter Schilling (Major Tom), The Bongos (Numbers With Wings) to name a couple. And didn't the Smiths come out in '86? Yello was also crankin in the mid 80s but I don't think many folks knew about them yet. Peter Murphy and 'Love and Rockets' (both leftovers from Bauhaus) were two more flashes in the pan band in or around '86. And when did Stan Ridgeway release Mexican Radio? That song still rocks.
Oh, and Elvis Costello, too.
