The average person on the street probably doesn't even know that Golden Earring sang Radar Love. I hear Twilight Zone on the radio occasionally but it sounds like a completely different band, and a song of its time.
I remember this vividly one a trip to the tip with the old man, great memories of something coming on the radio ( Radio Windy I think it was back then ) and him seeing if I knew who sang it. He told me these guys were Dutch which blew my mind as I though any decent band was either British or American.

@MN5 Leaving aside the fact that they had a gazillion hits in the Netherlands and elsewhere you are ignoring
which was actually there biggest hit reaching the Billboard Top 10 in the early 80's
I was living in southern NL at the time. It was incessant.
I stand corrected…….sort of…….
Google confirms these guys have been prolific but ask your average person on the street to name a second song of theirs and they’ll very likely stare blankly.
I'd have struggled on the first tbh
Really ? It’s a song that everyone knows I would have thought even if they don’t know the name of the band.
It really isn't one that ever stuck in my consciousness. I just went and read about it to work out what the story was. Seems that when I was about 9 it was just among the top 100 songs of the year with a fleeting appearance at top 10.
Seems, however that it had a resurgence in popularity through covers and recognition in rock circles in the 80s and 90s (not really in my music sphere). Almost a cult thing rather than crossover popularity. You can see why. It would have a lot of respect musically among those circles.
I recognise the song but wouldn't have recalled it off the cuff.
This is interesting reading https://radar-love.net/en/ -
Some recommended this to me. Pretty good.

It was me. You’re welcome. Such nice variety, best track is ‘Days gone by’ I reckon

Live albums always sound better for some reason.

@MN5 I like that but also like midnight moody’s, happy ways, meadows and daydream. I like that classic organ in days gone by.
Also nothing beats a good flute solo when done right as well !

@MiketheSnow looks like it was an awesome night. Last time I saw the Stereophonics play was as second support to Paul Weller at a Teenage Cancer Trust gig at Royal Albert Hall and most of the crowd was still at the bar. I think they had had some time off playing and were just starting up again. Anyway I assume you were singing along to this one. …

I don't mind the Stereophonics but I've never really thought of them to be gig enough to be a stadium band.
Yet, they seem to be (in Wales anyway). I saw them at same stadium in late 2003 (I think). Was brilliant.
