Then we`ve got all the stuff since they reformed as well.........

I was growing up when they were big in the UK and everbody in the UK knows who A-ha are, they`re about on the same level in terms of popularity as say Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Culture Club etc which were huge bands in the Uk in the 80`s.
Thats where its lost on me, i live in the USA. Duran Duran and Culture Club were more then one hitters here, but Spandau Ballet really only had True.
