I guess it depends on geography.

The Police were hardly ever out of the top 10 between say 78 & 84 in the UK whereas, Talking Heads I was aware of because of Once In A Lifetime & Road To Nowhere but not overly familiar with them. The Cars were basically a one hit wonder in the UK and that was only because of Live Aid.
