STEEL BREEZE
Steel Breeze is an American album-oriented rock group that had a popular video on MTV with “You Don’t Want Me Anymore” in 1982, followed by “Dreamin’ is Easy” the following year. (More from Wikipedia)
Basically, all I remember about the 1980’s band Steel Breeze is their name; I just found their biggest hit from 1982 on YouTube, “You Don’t Want Me Anymore”, and I didn’t know the song at all. The name is taken from a lyric in a Pink Floyd song, “Shine On You Crazy Diamond”. (The song and the album from which it is taken, Wish You Were Here are dedicated to their troubled original bandleader Syd Barrett). But I do remember an interview with Steel Breeze one time (it must have been on MTV) where they were asked about their name; and they rather sheepishly said that they were really enamored with Pink Floyd at the time, making it clear that by then, they wish they had chosen another name.
