"Dreams Of Ordinary Men" by Hunter

In the 80s, there was an Australian/New Zealand band named Dragon that had a lone chart hit in the US with "Rain." By the late 80s, the band, which featured the Hunter brothers and none other than guitar extraordinaire Tommy Emmanuel, released records in the US under the name Hunter. It didn't help get them back on the chart.

But "Dreams Of Ordinary Men," the title track from their 1987 effort, should have put the band back on the radio in the US. Produced by Todd Rundgren, this album contains plenty of pop rockers that should have been popular back in the day.

"Young Years" by Dragon

Dragon is a pop rock band from New Zealand that made a single appearance on the US Top 100 chart in 1984 with "Rain". "Rain" only stormed to #88 but left a lasting impression on many fans of this underrated band.

"Young Years" is another example of the excellent stuff Dragon could churn out. The band's back catalogue is worth mining if you enjoy thoughtful, melodic songs.

Also worth your time is their acoustic CD, "Sunshine To Rain". Don't miss their rendition of Kool & The Gang's "Celebrate"! Other favorites of mine include "Magic", "This Time", and "April Sun In Cuba".
