By 1997 we'd had enough of every second TV soap Star releasing a single down here, then "Natalie Imbruglia" (another "Neighbours" alumni), released this brilliant and very unexpected classic.

Yeah, you're right. I shouldn't generalize anyway. It's just that the only interactions I've had with Canadians is on this forum and... ... I call 'em as I see 'em.

Yeah, as I said, he's very hit or miss. I haven't heard it for a while, but I remember not really liking his Solo stuff.

I think the only ones I can relate to are #5 and the strange hypocritical relationship between #2 and #3. The others don't concern me.

He may very well be. It's rampant over there.

Well then my friend, if you haven't heard the aforementioned "Evidence One", then you're in for a treat with these tracks from their Killer three albums. Get on the main site and cross reference his name. He's quite prolific. I'll even throw in a Killer "Duran Duran" cover from another one of his great projects "Midnite Club". Just ignore the first 10 seconds.

Doggy's just remembered a great one. As he's unable to post videos, I'll gladly post these on his behalf. Ricky Gervais from '83. If you're not aware of this, then prepare to have your mind blown. The first track is actually a bit of an early 80s "New Wave" killer.

It's from the album, "Marko Pukkila (With Legends) - KISS MY COVERS".

Which one, Carsten Shulz or P. J. Molla? Carsten's a long time journeyman featuring in many projects. I know bugger all about P.J. Molla.

Cool.

Radio Exile - No Pity on the Highway. Killer track from a Killer album featuring another "hired gun" Vocalist, "Chandler Mogul".

Fair enough mate.

This project gives "Evidence One" a run for it's money. Carsten's only a guest Vocalist (2 tracks) BTW on the second album.

Yeah, this one is a little gem. I love Carsten Shulz. A definite hired gun with many projects under his belt, but I do find him to be hit and miss. When he hits though, it's great. "Evidence One" comes to mind. It's close, this isn't as good as those albums, but it's definitely one of his big hits. You should check out "July Reign" Cody.

Terrible. Of course in those days, off the back of "Kylie", every TV soap celebrity was releasing a song. "Neighbors" was particularly known for it and I'm sure Doggy, that this is one of your favorites. It's amazing to think that the same guy is playing the same character in the same TV show after all these years.

Yes, of course. A perfect example.

Lead Vocalist, Danny Cooksey.

Good one. The little red haired kid from "Different Strokes", pops up in "Terminator 2" then releases this. What a ride. It's a solid album for sure.

Crystal Gayle.

Hasselhoff is a good one, but as with everyone (except the Germans) i've never taken him seriously. I do like this recentish track though. Very tongue in cheek and ultra corny, but I definitely don't hate it.

Well, if we're talking about the Legendary "Michael McKean" and the other Legendary "Spinal Tap" guys, then I've gotta throw this one in. For the record, "Lenny" was great, but "Sguiggy" was hilarious. Very early TV memories with those guys.

Actually, on second thought, I reckon even if the lists are ready to go, you should delay their release until we guess this last top 5 inclusion. It's enthralling.

Obviously, this statement is the key to this "Enigma wrapped in a riddle". If you'll allow a question, is this Band/Artist featured in the Main Site database? I'm very curious now. I hope this album lives up to the hype.

I actually saw "Dogstar" and Keanu perform as a "Bon Jovi" support act in the early 90's.

I may as well throw in a couple of my favourites from last year. "Durbin" or "Thy Row"?
