  • Missing Persons is an American rock band. The band was founded in 1980 in Los Angeles by guitarist Warren Cuccurullo, vocalist Dale Bozzio, and drummer Terry Bozzio. They later added bassist Patrick O'Hearn and keyboardist Chuck Wild. Dale's quirky voice and heavy makeup made the band a favorite on MTV in the early 1980s.
    "Destination Unknown" is a song by American band Missing Persons. It was written by Dale Bozzio, Terry Bozzio, and Warren Cuccurullo with production by Ken Scott. Originally released on the band's self-titled EP (1980), the song was released as a single in September 1982 and appeared on their debut studio album Spring Session M (1982).
    In the United States, it was a minor hit spending 13 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, narrowly missing the Top 40 and peaking at #42 in November 1982.
    This song is used in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories on Flash FM. The song is also played at the end of Season 2, episode 7, titled "Nothing Shattered," of the NetFlix series GLOW.

      I got searching for this when I heard a reference to the Walking in LA song in an episode of Family Guy ( because I hadn't changed channels after The Simpsons... ) and I just had to hear the song. This was in the subsequent suggestions and the title sounded familiar so... They and other similar groups were making some good fresh music at a time when I'd had my fill of Smoke on the Water. I had to listen to a 10watt community-college station I whose signal I could barely acquire to hear music like this and what a breath of fresh-air *that* was! Something had actually changed for the *better,* for once. I could hardly believe it.

    Why does this song have such a strong emotional hold on me? I was 24 yrs old in the summer of 1982...life was good...living with my g/f, Jackie..had a good job. The melody of this song is so perfect, there's a bit of a droning background, that throbbing bassline, and the lyrics just wash over me, recalling the good times me and my buds had playing softball that year...smoking weed, barbecuing on weekends...Life is so strange.

I include them only because you seem to like thrash, and there'e a good chance you haven't heard them. The first is probably the bands stand out hit, and had fairly wide circulation. The second probably haven't been heard much outside Oz, a three piece band with tons of short punchy numbers. So many that it's really hard to pick just one.

      Thank you for letting me be in my late 20s, single and making good money at the time. It was a perfect storm of fun down the Jersey shore. I miss the Casa Blanca, A's Inn, the Yankee Clipper and the Parker House. Those were the best days of my life, the early to mid-80s.

      Blown away! Terry was insane on his wild drum kit, Warren and Patrick are stellar musicians and of course Dale was out of this world and set the template for female singers after her, like Gaga. They actually played a small club here the first time they came! That would have been crazy kool to see!@@anibalbabilonia1867
