Never saw Charmed, so I have to give this group a rather fresh uncool here. Their style is rather bland, and they don't have much success in the US charts (1 Top 40 hit: Heartbreak Beat). All in all, rather forgettable other than the UK.

Pivotal in the formation of my musical preferences--right up there with Talking Heads and The English Beat--simple as that.
