A band that hasn’t had a hit in 20 years isn’t going to go to Arizona. Oh no…

Let’s see their last

#1 Hit - _Out Of Touch_ [1984]  
Top Ten Hit (#3)- _Everything Your Heart Desires_ [1988]  
Top 40 hit (#11) _So Close_ [1990]  
Last charted song (#97) _I’ll Be Around_ [2004]

Seriously, I would have guessed 1984 would have been the last…and I wouldn’t have guessed it was as recently as 1984.
