Téléphone

For the ten years they were around, they revolutionized the rock scene in France. While Telephone was around it appeared to be hit after hit. They also managed to release 5 full-length albums. Try finding a band that does that today. This huge success even got them the opportunity to open up for The Rolling Stones for dates in France, Canada, the US, and Japan. However, in 1986, they members went their separate ways and all of them have had manageable solo careers. Since then a live album came out in 2000 but still no talk of a reunion.
