Originally known as The Pockets, Saga formed in 1977 from the nucleus of Canadian rock band Fludd. In June 1978, they released their self-titled debut album. in 1981, the band's 4th album Worlds Apart was released. The lead single "Wind Him Up", finally broke them into the Top 40. A second single "On the Loose" also fared well, and in December of 1982, proved to be their breakthrough in America where it peaked at #26 on the Billboard Charts in March of 1983.
I still have the cassette from Mainstream Records cantaining "On The loose". Someone on Youtube made a cool space pic video for the song. If you have heard this before, then I hope this brings back memories. If hearing for the first time, your in for a treat. Enjoy!

I've got this album somewhere in my collection. Haven't listened to it in years.Thanks Stu for blowing the dust off of this one:)
I've definitely heard it before, could never have named the band. It always amazes me how music can stay so familiar and stick in your brain.
To follow up on orbs suggestion in another post... you can hold down the control button while clicking the comment link to open a new tab so you can post while still listening to the song.
Vaguely familiar, but not really. My excuse is that I was drunk for most of the 80's. :P
Thanks for the tip kk.
