Red Elvises - Grooving To The Moscow Beat

1996. The band had already been in the business awhile when they recorded this, their first English language album and perhaps their best work. A few years later their gun-slinger guitarist split and so it went. Link in comments.

Sting - Bring On The Night - 1985


STING decided to assemble a new band and make a film about himself and it. Siskel and Ebert found the result cringeworthy and so can you. Special moments include STING pretending to read an EKG, and STING's minion-in-chief getting indignant about the new band feeling underpaid. Link in comments.
