Fischer-Z
Fischer-Z were a British rock band, who released eight albums between 1979 and 1995. The original line-up consisted of John Watts (vocals, guitar), David Graham (bass), Steve Skolnik (keyboards) and Steve Liddle (drums). Fischer-Z's biggest hit was "The Worker", one of the few records to go down the chart, after being featured on BBC Television's Top Of The Pops. Watts later put this down to the remix of the song from the album version which put the emphasis on the keyboards rather than his guitar.[citation needed] Watts's lyrics drew heavily on his experiences as a mental health care worker. They were more popular in mainland Europe than their native UK - particularly Portugal, Belgium and Germany, where Watts continued to have hits as a solo artist after the band broke up. They were most successful of all in Australia, where they achieved two Top 20 hits with "So Long" and "The Perfect Day". Watts founded a new band with the same name in 1987, with him being the only original member, although Skolnik made a minor contribution to one track on their first album. The albums released with the new line-up were less successful than those recorded earlier. In 2007, Watts scored a radio hit in Germany with the song, "Susanne's Song (Dance On)". * "Wax Dolls" b/w "Angry Brigade" (1978) * "Remember Russia" b/w "Bigger Since Now" (1979) * "The Worker" b/w "Kitten Curry" (1979) - UK #53 * "First Impressions" b/w "High Wire Walker" (1979) * "So Long" b/w "Hiding" (1980) - UK #72, AUS #15 * Room Service (1980) * Crazy Girl (1980) * "Limbo" b/w "The Rat Man" (1980) * "Marliese" b/w "Right Hand Men" (1981) * "'Cutters Lullaby" b/w "You'll Never Find Brian Here" (1981) * Berlin (1981) * The Writer "El Escritor" (1981) * "The Perfect Day" (1988) - UK #91, AUS #12 * "Big Drum" (1988) * "Say No" (1989) * Masquerade (1989) * "Sausages and Tears" (1990) * "Destination Paradise" (1992) * Will You Be There?
