So far, no one has mentioned Krorus, a band also compared to AC/DC. (in fact, when AC/DC went looking for a new singer, they offered the job to Marc Storace, who turned them down.) "Screamin' in the Night" got a fair amount of airplay in the US.

Isn't "Achy Breaky Heart" about some other song? I'm pretty sure it's not self-referential (like "You're So Vain" is). And Olivia Newton-John did "Please Mister Please", the next line of which was "Don't play B-17" (on the jukebox) because it makes her sad.
