wanting early 90s to come back - Early 90's one hit Grunge ty
IP:208.23.29.2 | 2007-12-03 22:15:07
Back in the late 80's and early 90's, there were a bunch of Grunge-type songs that just disappeared into music neverland. Do you have a list of these anywhere? I am looking at your other lists and will download a bunch that I see. Hoping to find all those lost gems that I know were out there but cant find.
How will I know if you create it?

Thanx
I'll see about what I can do... perhaps I'll make a list like "top ten forgotten grunge classics..." or something of the like. Either way, keep checking back regularly, and you should see it.
so many of these bands had more then one hit. . . Toadies - Possum kingdom, butthole surfers - shame of life, Soul asylum - misery, Local H - hands on the bible, all the kids are right, Cracker - Euro trash girl, Fastball - Fire escape
First of all, thanks for the heads up on the toadies, I totally meant to put Possum Kingdom, I have no idea why I put Tyler (although its a great song as well). As for the others, they never came even close to repeating the success of the songs that I listed.
Hey rob can you read. It's according to US chartss. The blur had one hit. The verve were a good band and should have had more than one hit but didn't. Read the whole chart before you make stupid comments like that.
tubthumper by chumbawumba should probably be here...i would disagree with the toadies being a 1-hit wonder...tyler and i come from the water were never huge but if u think about it, the band was never huge...i think u'd hafta consider them to have 3 hits or 0....not 1
These bands have had a lot more hits than you credit them for. And the U.S. charts are sorry excuse for reference.
Dead Or Alive= Brand New Lover, Come Home With Me Baby,Lover Comeback, Turn Around & Count To 10, Something In My House, My Heart Goes Bang.
Simple Minds= Alive & Kicking, Santified, Promised You A Miracle
Spandau Ballet= ,Gold, Only When You Leave, To Make a Long Story Short
Marcy Playground= It's Saturday, Bye Bye, St. Joe On The School Bus
If you wanna play that tune then you missed this classics
Split Enz- I Got You
Fountains Of Wayne- Stacy's Mom
Stroke 9- Little Black Backpack
The Knack- My Sharona
Devo- Whip It
wallflowers had a few others - heros (godzilla soundtrack)
the verve - lucky man (you actually have it on one of your other lists)
and of course the ones listed above by the toadies and soul asylum
Blur's not a one-hit wonder
sure they only had one "charting" hit song
but one-hit wonder implies that they had one good song and went into the abyss for the rest of their career, not doing much good music. Blur churned out plenty of great music unlike Verve or Eifel 65 or whoever the fuck is on this list...
If its based on US charts only then the US sure are missing out on heaps of good music. Take Natalie Imbruglia. Sure Torn was her biggest song but there have been heaps more of hers to do well, most notably 'Wrong Impression' which might have outdone 'Torn'
