One of the great things about the 80s was the huge variety of pop and rock that you could hear on US radio. This disappeared starting in the 90s and is totally gone now. American commercial radio is now a bland, worthless wasteland.
Joan Armatrading has been a legendary rocker in the UK since the early 70s. Her amazing song "Drop the Pilot" (1983) got some airplay in the US in both the rock and pop formats. I highly recommend checking out her other stuff as well (some is available on Itunes).

IS that her real name?
According to Wiki:
Joan Anita Barbara Armatrading was born (9 December 1950) in Basseterre, Saint Kitts; she moved with her family to Birmingham, England, in 1958.
That's a cool name.
