Probably best known in the U.S. for their hit "I Touch Myself," the Divinyls have actually had many hits throughout their career in their native Australia and even performed at the Us Festival in 1983. Sadly the band, became a duo before the really hit it big in the U.S. Lead singer Christina Amphlett has been fighting multiple sclerosis since 2007, and the group broke up in 2009.

The Buggles

Music history will forever remember the Buggles as the band that had the first video to ever air on MTV. The lyrics to the song itself became a bit prophetic for the music industry, but basically faded into obscurity shortly afterward. But not entirely: The duo became brief members of Yes in 1980.

The Waitresses

Next to Devo, the Waitresses were the quintessential New Wave band for the nerd in all of us. They had one big hit in the form of "I Know What Boys Like" and a minor hit: the seasonal "Christmas Wrapping." They also sang the theme song to the now-cult TV show Square Pegs starring a very young Sarah Jessica Parker and Tracy Nelson (daughter of late teen idol Rick Nelson).

If you listen to some of their deep tracks, they sound like the B-52s with a great amount of punk edge. Sadly, tragedy struck the band when lead singer Patty Donahue succumbed to lung cancer in 1996.
