Never heard of Heart? Their most popular song is <i>Baracuda</i>. It's in a lot of movies.

Mine - America: <i>What a Feeling</i> from Flashdance by Irene Cara. I hate that song.
England: <i>Every Breath You Take</i> by The Police. That's a little better, at least. I like The Police, but not that song so much.

Shes been around that long? Wow...I thought she was a recent years artist.

I think me and Joel have the best so far.

She's been around for quite a while. Surely you remember the Locomotion girl?

Well, she was a great icon during the 80's in the US. She's Australian born(which automatically makes her more attractive than everyone else) and while she wasn't too popular during the 90's in the US, she was huge in the UK and Australia. So huge in fact that she sold more albums than Madonna in the UK at one point. Also, too many people forget this, but she also played as Cammy in Street Fighter, thankfully for us, we shouldn't remember that movie.

Anyways, my #1 was Every Breath You Take by The Police(US). Give it Up by KC and the Sunshine Band(UK).
