Europe
Artist Overview
A band that settles for nothing less than epic grandeur, Europe took pufffy-haired progressive rock to new heights with their smash hit 1986 album THE FINAL COUNTDOWN. One of Sweden's most conspicuous musical exports since ABBA, they dominated their namesake continent with dramatic, keyboard-glazed hard rock anthems. When 1992 and grunge rock struck, Europe was driven underground, but they've never stopped doing what they do best. They remain a proud throwback, with a melodic, life-affirming body of work to their credit. The hair's shorter, the clothes are less outlandish, but the soaring, powerful music's still all Europe.
