A lot of artist didn’t make it in the U.S. back then hence why you feel this way. I was fortunate that I had the opportunity to visit my parent’s country practically every summer during the 80s and had the privilege to discover a lot of artists. Plus the internet and streaming music apps like Itunes was a game changer. Everything is at your fingertips. Now as for Device they had a few good tunes. My favorite song is Hanging on a Heart Attack.
