That is a band I have not heard in a very long time. I think Robert Fripp did some stuff with them.

Wikipedia says he guested on two of their albums.

Kurt Vile, "Pretty Pimpin" from B'lieve I'm Goin Down... (2015).

Donny Osbourne - "Flying Hot Stuff"
Thought this was kind of fun Donna Summers mixed with Ozzy Osbourne.

that was fun!!

Tom Waits, "Post Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis", from Blue Valentine (1978). It ends about the way you expect a Tom Waits song to end.

The Psychedelic Furs - Love My Way

The Psychedelic Furs were my favorite band for a few years in the early 1980s. I saw them in concert in Austin maybe four times.

Never got to see them live but have always enjoyed their music.

George Winston, Autumn (1980). I went through a Windham Hill phase in the late 1980s.

An article about them.
More considered an influential band , doubt they sold a ton of records.

Back to Classical for a while. Here's Johann Georg Albrechtsberger's Concerto for Organ and Strings in B flat Major (1762).

Here's an early cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach, Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit, BWV 106 (1707/8). It was written for a funeral, and has rather unusual instrumentation-- no violins.

Hector Berlioz, Les nuits d'Été, Op. 7 (1841). A song cycle, sung by Régine Crespin in 1963. Love her voice.
