Joe Walsh- Really need to check out a lot more of his solo stuff as I'm mostly familiar with the James Gang and of course his stuff with the Eagles.

Don Johnsen- I know he always fancied himself as a major league actor rather than a TV type actor, but didn't know he had recorded music, its probably no surprise considering Miami Vice had some of the coolest music in the 1980s.

Laura Brannigan- I only recently found out that she passed away after wondering what had happened to her, when I first saw her I thought she was as sexy as hell and what a voice, especially loved her Self Control album.

Uriah Heep- True to form, you've picked out a weaker album in a band's discography, I can't criticize as its been years since I heard these later Uriah Heep albums. I still tend to play their golden era stuff when David Byron was vocalist and Gary Thain was in the band. I really should re-listen to their later 1970s and early 1980s stuff.

Asia-Still yet to listen to Phoenix, I know John Wetton returned to the band. There is actually a thread now about Asia on MB as somebody just started the thread. I think their debut is a great album then the next two weaker efforts based around the debut, for a while they were one of the biggest bands in the world for a short time in the 1980s.
