I actually first heard The Scottish Twits (which is what Dad called them) in Australia in 1988 or so. Then the dropped off the charts like a rock, and when I got back to Canada they'd been obscure for a while. 500 Miles (I'm Gonna Be) got used on a movie soundtrack, and then everyone remembered them. That was a good song. I butchered it once at karaoke.

The Beatles, the Stones, Pet Clark, Herman's Hermits, etc. I have a three-CD set of British Invasion tunes, usually recorded several years or more after their heyday and consisting of the suckier songs of the era.[/color
