The Stray Cats: Stray Cat Strut (1982)

The Stray Cats were a throw back. They were rockabilly and harkened back to the fifties. They scored a number of hits between 1981 and 1984 and then broke up. They have been on again and off again since. Some thought the Stray Cats were a novelty act, until they actually heard them live.

The Ventures: Hawaii Five-O (1968)

This is the greatest TV theme show of all time. The original series ran from 1968-1980 and the reboot began in 2010. It was the longest running crime drama until Law and Order passed it.
