But they have many more Outstanding Songs -
The Sun Always Shines On Tv [ My All Time Favourite Song ] -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3ir9HC9vYg [ Extremely Beautiful and Emotional ]
Manhattan Skyline -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmVFjNxA4gs [ Also very Beautiful. ]
Scoundrel Days -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaEcXLFNtUw [ Epic. Simply Epic. One of their Darker Songs. ]
Hunting High and Low -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6VaeFCxta8 [ Very Orchestral and VERY Powerful. ]
The Weight Of The Wind -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXA4x1lcDUM [ One of their lesser known Songs :(. A shame really since this one is an amazing production. ]
Stay On These Roads -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWey1DBAchM [ Beautifully Done like The Sun Always Shines On Tv. ]
Out of Blue Comes Green -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3BFu0EpOMM [ Another less known song. Another Epic production. ]
They were HUGE in Europe and here in the U.K.
A big shame that the U.S.A didn't recognize them for anything but Take On Me and " maybe " The Sun Always Shines On Tv.
Maybe it is a good thing.. The Jonas Brothers covered Take On Me and it was just plain horrible. I would have hated to see them or any other teeny bopper fad bands ruin classics from the 80s / 90s. -

Watch at your own risk.
Another few Suggestions would be -
Van Halen
Alphaville
Huey Lewis and the News
I know I will probably sound very old for suggestion 80s / 90s Bands [ Though I am only 20 years old ], I just find that their Music is more dynamic and much more fresh sounding than most stuff today. There are still a few good bands like One Republic, Bloc Party and Coldplay out there too. I like a few of N'Duz Songs too.
