Scorpions

About

Best known for their 1982 hit "No One Like You" and the 1984 anthem "Rock You Like a Hurricane," German rockers the Scorpions have sold over 22 million records, making them one of the most successful rock bands to ever come out of Continental Europe. Originally formed in 1969 by Rudolf Schenker, the band went through numerous lineup changes before hitting its stride in the early '80s with the highly successful albums Animal Magnetism, Blackout, Love at First Sting, Savage Amusement, and Crazy World, the latter of which boasted the huge international hit and post-Cold War anthem "Winds of Change." The band remained popular in Europe as the decades progressed, playing to huge crowds and releasing a steady stream of concert, compilation, and studio albums, including 2010's platinum-selling Sting in the Tail and 2022's anthemic Rock Believer.
