4. Wow...that's a real blast from the past.

Missing Persons...the early days of MTV. They should have been huge; I never understood why they never reached the next level. Maybe they were just a little too weird and ahead of their time (Lady Gaga and many others owe a lot of their style to MP). I was just a teenager back then, but I was blown away by Warren Cuccurullo's guitar work. He showed a lot of young players how to fit guitars--even really heavy guitars--into synth-dominated '80s New Wave music.
Thanks for the link to the HQ remastered version!
