Als einer der weltweit erfolgreichsten Rock-Acts der 1980er Jahre wurde Europe vor allem durch ihren großen kommerziellen Chart-Hit »The Final Countdown« im Jahr 1986 bekannt. Die Einflüsse der aus Schweden stammenden Band - von Whitesnake über Deep Purple bis hin zu Rainbow - trugen dazu bei, dass sie sich als Vorreiter des damals sehr beliebten kommerziellen Metal-Sounds etablierten.
