An hirer Diskographie si virun allem kuerz a rockeg-knackeg Singlen ze fannen, déi ufanks den 80er Joren uewen an den Charts waren, wéi "Stop Your Sobbing" (e Kinks-Cover), "Brass In The Pocket", "Back On The Chain Gang", "Middle Of the Road" oder déi méi roueg Nummeren "I Go To Sleep" an "I'll Stand By You".
