Hits List: Little River Band

One of the great bands of the 70's and 80's was this one right here from Australia.  It's interesting that although the group was launched in their native country, Australia largely missed the boat on some of their best songs.  Here is their complete Hits List:

           "Reminiscing" (#3, #35 Australia)
           "So Many Paths"
           "Lady" (#10, #7 Adult Contemporary, #46 Australia)
