Bananarama is a curious group—just some girls who only sing in unison without any distinctive features—yet somehow they keep turning out hit songs.

This cover track was also a big hit in both the U.

and Japan.

Even now, they continue to be active, mainly performing in concerts.

This is the Brand New Heavies, a British acid jazz and funk band active since the 1990s.

CCR churned out a string of hits with their earthy, blues-tinged rock numbers.

No matter the song, John Fogerty’s songwriting and vocals are compelling.

“Travellin’ Band” is straight-up rock ’n’ roll and became a massive hit, reaching No.

2 on the charts.
