Spacehog's In the Meantime and Flaming Lips "She Don't Use Jelly" and Blessid Union of Souls "Hey Leonardo"
Crash Test Dummies - mmm mmm mmm
Rocked “Bound For The Floor” by Local H
@@TimmyTickle considering Todd has been in two of my videos and we were on the same site years ago and we follow each other online, I'm sure he can find me. Hes nice.
"Bitch" by Merideth Brooks is at the top of my list. I also love "No Rain" by Blind Melon.
Personally I'm a fan of In the Meantime by Spacehog
One of my faves
I love that song
Definitely one of my favorites. It's on my Rock playlist on my phone and comes up often.
Loved that entire album.
I love that song so much
Anyone remember "Three Little Pigs" from Green Jello? That song was everywhere in 1993 for a month.
Oh yeah! One of my favorites!
Oh dude, I do.
A/k/a Green Jelly
I only remember them because their music was featured in a Spiderman game for the Super NES. Maximum Carnage.
Fun fact: Danny Carey from Tool played drums on that song. Maynard James Keenan also did the voice of one of the pigs in the song’s chorus
The song 'Misadventures of Shit Man'.....Epic lol
I spent this entire video as follows:
(songs name comes up)
"what?"
(plays clip of song)
"oh, that one"
I was right there with you!
That was the 90's song titles were way out there. Nowadays they are so ridiculously on the nose.
The 90s and 2000s produced a surprisingly among of hits that you don't know by name unless you've tracked it down later but hearing instantly makes you go "oh, that's what they song is called"
As someone who grew up listening to almost exclusively Christian radio, I'll probably never get used to Jars of Clay being labeled as a one-hit wonder
They were EVERYWHERE growing up! You just don't realise how big they were in the CCM scene. They were a solid band but never really shrugged off that label/start so just leant into it, turning into "music your mum likes".
Interesting, I was in my early teens when it came out and music was life. However I have zero recollection of them.
The Flys: Got You Where I Want You.
I remember SO MANY dudes in high school bringing their guitars to play this.
Thats was a great tune so 90s Disturbing Behaviour.
That's mine and my wife's song. We've been together since 1999 when we were 19 and the song was in the movie disturbing behavior. Ah the good ol days
@@garygagnon4637 funny when ya hear certain people say oh that minr and the wifes song ya think of some ol sappy song but our generation love songs if ya wanna call some of them that had edge and kind of a dark alternative rock side too them lol compared too say our parents
@@superunknown2812 so very true. That's what makes these songs great
Blind Melon is and always has been one of the most underappreciated bands of the 90s. They deserved to be known for so much more than just No Rain. Both their self titled album and the follow up Soup are fantastic as hell, if but for two different reasons. Very much worth checking them both out.
Yeah artistically they are above the one-hit-wonder status, as are Chumbawumba.
So many good songs that never got airplay.
I'm probably one of the few who actually like Change more than No Rain.
Soup is one of my all time favorite albums
Nico is not too bad either.. All things considered.
Deep blue something - breakfast at Tiffany’s is a great one hit wonder
I'm surprised you didn't put Closing Time by Semisonic
I keep thinking that they had another song.
@@TheAdarkerglow "Secret Smile", and to a lesser extent "Chemistry"
And singing in my sleep.
Yes most people forget Semisonic had other hits, just nothing as big as Closing Time.
Singing in my Sleep and Secret Smile were on the same album.
I’m surprised In The Meantime by Spacehog wasn’t on here
that song is so underrated these days. pity they never had anything else on that level.
Yeah me too
came here to write the same thing. BEST bassline of the 90s.
"Mungo City" has always been one of my favorite 90's tunes
They had "I want to live".
Todd in the Shadows seen furiously taking notes.
He's done videos on 4 of these so far
Too bad his fan base is a lot of kids. Some 13 year old took all the songs he covered on “one hit wonderland” and put them in a list called “old doesnt always equal good” 🤦🏼♀️😒
@311 Jazzy *brings out my cricket bat* Point them out to me...I just want to talk to them.
@@NPGLAMB Well, the kid isn't necessarily wrong with that title (there's plenty of old shit that not even nostalgia can fix) but ALL of the OHW's Todd's covered?? O.O
I know for a fact that "Counting Blue Cars" and "Sex and Candy" are on his to-do list.
Mighty Mighty Bosstones - The Impression That I Get
@C J A Same song....
They were actually pretty big in the ska scene before that single
Someday I suppose was pretty big. They’ve got a few others too.
They're considered a classic 3rs wave ska band and were popular in the ska scenr for years after. But nowadays ska isn't very popular.
Aside from being a near legendary band *within the genre* before that album, they had other mainstream hits on that record. Royal oil and rascal king
Spacehog - In The Meantime
Probably the most underrated one hit wonder of the 90’s
Eagle Eye Cherry - Save Tonight
Great song I personally enjoy that one quite a bit
that whole album is good really second one wasn't bad but not nearly as strong
That was a good one
Far from a one hit wonder
@@johang1293 I never heard another radio hit. I heard Amnesia from Chumwamba on the radio.
Shawn mullins - lullaby
Len - Steal my sunshine
Aqua - Barbie Girl
New Radicals - you get what you give
Joan osborne - one of us
Lit - My own worst enemy.
Hanson - mmmbop
I think Aqua and Hanson would be considered pop more than rock.
@@garyhardin6555 well if you can consider chumbawamba rock....
Lit had another hit with "Miserable" and "over my head" from the soundtrack for "Titan A.E." peaked at #22
New Radicals broke up after one song I think
@C J A Natalie had other hits of that 1st album. Wrong Impression of her second album charted high internartionally, later she had a #1 album in UK I think
'Here and now' Letters to Cleo
'Ready to go' Republica
'How Bizzare' OMC
Just my opinion but tal Bachman’s she’s so high was a good 1 hit wonder.
That's actually my theme song for life.
Sure was
Wikipedia calls it “power pop” so I guess it didn’t fit the video n
Jesus Jones Right here, Right Now
Real Real Real
Yas!!!!
I heard he wanted to prove to his class how to create a hit song.
Or EMF-Unbelievable
Oh, I wasn't expecting Meredith Brooks on this list. My music teacher in high school was her roommate before she got big and her manager after her career took off. She and Meredith are still friends to this day even though my teacher decided that a quiet life in the mountains suited her better. Also I agree, she's a great guitarist.
I was surprised to see her on it, too. I remember hearing What Would Happen a lot in the late 90's. But I guess it wasn't actually a hit.
I hated that song in the 90s. It was fucking everywhere.
@@Jcikokalol I don't care for bitch but I really liked her other song what would happen
Im shocked Eve 6- Inside Out wasn’t on here, that song was played like crazy in the 90s
They had Here’s to the night and there 3 album was a top 10 billboard seller.
I no longer heckle bands by requesting Lynyrd Skynyrd "Freebird." I now request Chumbawamba "Tubthumping."
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 I can just see you standing there lighter in hand!🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
LMAO!!
"Bound for the Floor" by Local H
Local h is great
Emily Baker I love them!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
Eddie Vedder was a hit though
I remember I had heard that song before and didn't know the name and Local H made a surprise appearance in Chicago when I saw Metallica and A7X. Not a lot of people there remembered the band but everyone got hyped as shit when they played bound for the floor.
Ben Hicks They're a band from the area.
Chumbawumba didn't have another hit because they didn't want another hit-they did their sell-out album and basically went, "screw you, we do what we want." Out of all of those, "Possum Kingdom" was the only one I have no clear memory of (it sounds familiar, though); almost every single one of these, I started singing along to once I caught the name.
The one I'm surprised I didn't see was "You get what you give" by the New Radicals.
Made a full video on New Radicals' album a few years back on my channel. It's my guilty pleasure.
@@RockedNet *Chumbawamba
You get what you give is one of my favorite songs from the 90s.
I don't know if it's true but I heard that chumbawamba hit and album was made to raise money for some kinda social justice cause. They accomplished their mission and went back to the underground. I don't know if it's true but I heard it many times.
For the record, Toadies is an awesome band to this day and their last couple albums were really good. Saw them live 2 years ago and they put on a GREAT show.
Toadies are a lot bigger in Texas. Their debut had a lot of great song. They broke up and got back together in the mid 2000s. Also Butthole Suffers were another good Texas band.
Rubberneck is a criminally underrated album. It is awesome!
They single handedly got a local alternative station BANNED at work, some older lady complained about the lyrics. The whole “Do you wanna die?” freaked her out especially with most of the younger people singing along…
I’m honestly surprised breakfast at Tiffany’s isn’t on the list
Me too
We've had one, yes, but what about Second Breakfast at Tiffany's?
I've loved that song since I was a kid
I honestly thought it would be on there. Hopefully if there's a part 2 then it will make it on that one.
guess we could have several later editions of the one hit wonders of the 90s
If you decide to do another list like this, you need to include “In The Meantime” by Spacehog. Not only a one hit wonder but a fantastic song with a catchy chorus, excellent bass line, and infectious groove. The band itself is also super fascinating.
I originally purchased album, off that song alone & STILL listen to "Resident Alien"
The entire Rubberneck album by Toadies is spectacular!
I was a radio personality in the 90's. A small fun fact about Sex & Candy is that it received so much air play because of it's short time. It tended to be the go-to song to help keep your clock straight, especially toward the top of the hour. This is one reason why it got so much play, and also why so much of it was at like 2-3min till the top of the hour. Anyway great video, I've subscribed.
The 90’s were the best decade for songs by that one band. Some I did not see in the comments but may have missed.
Tracy Bonham - Mother Mother
Tripping Daisy - got a girl
K’s Choice - not an addict
Urban Dance Squad - Deeper Shade of Soul
Gravity Kills - guilty
Semisonic - Closing Time
Poe - Angry Johnny
Letters to Cleo - Here and Now
Luscious Jackson - Naked Eye
Urge Overkill - girl you’ll be a woman song and positive Bleeding
Meatpuppets, Backwater
Saw Gravity Kills open for the Sex Pistols (!) on the Pistols’ Filthy Lucre tour . They were one of the few “industrial” type bands I actually liked . Great live show .
Urge Overkill were so cool.
Jpblack79 yeah that one too, love Backwater. There was also Dino Jr Feel the pain
Deeper Shade of Soul is so good.
Man I REALLY miss the 90s. The music back then was amazing to say the least. Thanks for this video.
"Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money in my Hand," by Primitive Radio Gods
I was on my way to see Blind Melon at Tipitina's when I heard Shannon Hoon died. They were a really talented band, and everyone in the industry that worked with Shannon loved him.
They even opened for the Rolling Stones.
@@paulj6756 I didn't know that! Very cool.
@@brentjohnson5171 1994, Three Rivers Stadium, Pittsburgh, PA.
How about: Presidents of the United States of America - Peaches.
They had a couple big hits, actually, lump was a pretty big hint, their cover of video killed the radio star Cleveland rocks and I think the song volcano might have been a hit not all big but hits but hits
Wasnt lump a hit
They also had Love Everybody, Mixed up S.O.B., Mach 5
@@cherylannabananna yes yes they did, they are one of the most underrated and influential bands of the 90's
Boll Weevil, Dune Buggy?
Every song by the Toadies is awesome. They had quite a number of other songs on movie soundtracks too. I'm from Toadie country, so I hear a bunch of their songs played on the radio all the time.
"Sucked Out" by Superdrag is my what I always think of when I think of one hit wonders from when I was on high-school.
"Live Through This" by Mighty Joe Plum, "Stars" by Hum, "Novocaine for the Soul" by the Eels, "Guilty" by Gravity Kills, "Got You (Where I Want You)" by The Flys, "Dizz Knee Land" by Dada, "Bad Reputation" by Freedy Johnston, and "Natural One" by Folk Implosion.
Eels had other hits.
i dont think guilty was alternative/rock, just rock
I love Hum. Suicide Machine, The Pod and I hate it too are other favorites of mine off that album.
Eels had plenty of songs
@@chrisrichardson5641 I need to listen to more Eels for sure. I heard they have more than what I know from the Beautiful Freak LP. I'll check 'em out.
Three Little Pigs by Green Jelly is missing......yeah, that was a hit
Little pig, little pig, let me in!!
Dude you made me reminisce about my childhood! Lol
Yo, Wolf face, I'm your worst nightmare. Your ass is mine.
I don’t think that song was a hit
@@joshuadeshaies7266 oh....it was
Toadies are a “local” band in Dallas (they’re from Fort Worth which is next to Dallas). A lot of people out here, a lot of parents mostly, still love them and their whole discography.
I had the album rubberneck when it first came out, personally I like the whole album..
And The Edge used to play other songs by them before it became pretty much a modern pop rock station and then died.
Yeah at first I was thinking Toadies had a number of songs that played quite frequently on the radio in the 90's but perhaps it was more a Texas thing. I grew up in Houston so heard a few songs on radio an was a fan.
And Possum Kingdom is a park in the Dallas Fort Worth area
Yeah they are pretty huge in Texas, at least in Dallas, Houston, and Lubbock for sure. I literally just them live in Lubbock last year.
I like how Chumbawumba openly encouraged their fans to steal the CDs from stores.
*Chumbawamba
You should talk about Oleander sometime! They are such a gem no one ever talks about them anymore and they have an interesting story
cannonball by the breeders?
also i'm glad you mentioned duncan's broadway career, spring awakening's my favorite broadway show.
Judging by the comments, there's enough for 2 or 3 more lists about one-hit 90s wonders.
Half of em aren’t even one hit wonders.
These literally bring me back to my childhood. Born in '87, I consider myself lucky to have been able to grow up in such a musically diverse decade.
You left out one awesome thing about Jars of Clay: A few years back the lead singer went on a long Twitter tirade calling out Christianity for being anti-LGBT+, and when he got condemned by different Christian publications and "family-values" groups, he doubled down and called them hypocrites! As a member of the LGBT+ community, it brought a tear to my eye and brought a mile-wide grin to my face.
I'm bi, and I can't for the life of me understand why it would matter to the bible thumpers who I decide to date
Thank you for remembering Chumbawamba! Tubthumper has legitimately been my "favorite underrated album" since the '90s! I just last month actually dug out my old physical CD from storage (bought new) to put back in my car. It still completely holds up.
Congrats on being the first person to spell the band's name correctly!!
Viva la 90's! I love this list. 90's alternative is my favorite! It's crazy that we had enough 1 hit wonders to even make a list
Don’t know if you consider Ben Folds a one hit wonder or not but I love the song Brick. Didn’t really get what the song meant when I was younger but very powerful now that I’m older
The song is about when Ben Folds was in high school and his girlfriend had to get an abortion.
That was such a gorgeous song that I got the album back then. The rest of it didn't do much for me. 1997 was a huge musical awakening for me as I was sheltered musically alot growing up. The chumbawamba album, Ben folds, the oasis album from 1997...the coke fueled one...I got so many to find new music. Only one really truly stuck and they're my favorite band to this day....Transistor from 311. The critics and music journalists at the time wanted to make them one of these forgotten one hit wonder bands so bad but they just couldn't do it. Too bad ass.
Stay from Shakespeare's Sister. Great song with a glorious video.
That's a good one
Love Shannon Hoon and Blind Melon. Dude is right about their debut album having many good tracks, in fact, I think every track is good. I loved their follow up album, Soup, too. Misunderstood gem. Was fortunate enough to see them live before Hoon passed . Love his work with G&R too.
My favorite 90s one-hit wonder is "What's Up" by 4 Non Blondes. It's such a mellow track.
Linda Perry is actually a pop songwriter now
No but I saw the video where He Man sings it.
I freaking hate this song lol...it was the first song my guitar teacher made me learn and we argued and argued about it over and over to the point I'll never play it again lol🤣😂🤣😂
@@ravensbrokenwings2080 Oof. I'm sorry.
@@PatrickCervantez Thank you ! I still cringe when I hear it played! Lol Linda Perrry married and divorced Sara Gilbert from Rosanna fame.
I love almost every one of these songs. This video was a nostalgia trip.
I like all of them. I was shocked.
I always liked I Got a Girl by Tripping Daisies
Funny thing is, the first song I heard from The Toadies was "Backslider" that was being played on the local rock station every 45 minutes at least. After really digging that song (one of the first songs I learned to play on guitar as I was taking lessons at the time it came out and asked my teacher if he could teach it to me. He was psyched after having students asking for the same stuff all the time) my friends and I all became obsessed with "Possum Kingdom!" I bought the CD and loved it. Still do. Check out the song "Tyler," now... do it!
Yes, Rubberneck is a great album! I like all their songs
@@xOGxSE7ENx Absolutely! That album has such a unique vibe to it and I always thought they melted together that ZZ Top Texas thing with some of the Pacific Northwest, Wipers sort of style that was really popular at the time. That voice is really it's own thing.
Away was very big as well.
Lots of nostalgia, really miss this stuff. Hope there's a part 2 cause there's so many more great one hit wonders.
If this video gets enough views I'll do a pt 2 or a One-Hit Wonders from the 2000's.
@@RockedNet looking forward to either one of those videos :)
@@RockedNet brb watching this at least once a day so we get said part 2
Ah, Jars Of Clay, them and later Switchfoot and Relient K, remind me of a time when not all mainstream CCM music was faux inspirational garbage
And dc talk
*STRYPER RULES*
There's still good stuff out there...You just gotta dive a little deeper. The band My Epic is a good place to start.
*PETRA MEANS ‘ROCK’*
@Michael Harris Notice that I specifically said mainstream CCM music, I’m sure there’s some good stuff that doesn’t get radio exposure, but we haven’t had good CCM music that’s actually popular since Switchfoot and Relient K were big
You can say what you want about Flagpole Sitta's lyrics, "been around the world and found that only stupid people are breeding" is one of the greatest one-liners in music history.
Totally bought the cassette single of "Tubthumping" at a Wal-Mart in the middle of Kansas when I was 10 with my paper route money
Closing Time by Semisonic? Anyone? Or was that not 90s? I can’t remember.
Red Vince It was 90s.
They had other hits though. So not a one hit wonder depending of your region. Singing in my sleep, secret smile and chemistry are all songs that charted for the band.
They were, but by the most technical of definitions, they don't qualify, because their song never made the Billboard Hot 100. They're in the weird position of being perceived mostly as one-hitters when they don't qualify in the US (see above) or the UK (where Closing Time wasn't even their highest-charting song).
"Inside Out" by Eve 6. Pure 90's.
Did "Promise" off their 2nd album chart? Or "Here's to the Night" off their 3rd album?
@@Coyotek4 - "Here's to the Night" reached #30 (and it was on the same album as "Promise").
They had other hits after that.
@@Coyotek4 Yes, 'Promise' peaked at Number 3. 'Here's to the Night' only reached Number 33 on the charts, but was certainly a well-loved song (popular at proms, I think), and is one of those that has enjoyed an enduring 'afterlife', often being heard in television shows and movies. ( Also, both songs were actually from the same album, 2000's _Horrorscope._ )
@@TarbenXsi Oops, you're right. 3rd album had "Think Twice"; I dunno if that ever charted, though I doubt it.
Really surprised that 'Cumbersome" by Seven Mary Three didn't get at least an honorable mention. Looks like it did pretty well in the charts, and most people who I play it for seem to remember it. Great song, and that band was a true one hit wonder. Good video though.
Their next album has a great song called Lucky, check it out.
@@jeffgibson4985 Rock crown and Honey of generation are nice songs too.
Marcy's playground is lo-fi pop perfection. That's the whole point. it's like a Velvet Underground parody
The proclaimers 500 miles was a great drinking song
They’ve had other hits. They aren’t one hit wonders
Toadies Rubberneck is a FANTASTIC album, start to finish. Really a cut above everything else mixing punk with angsty alt rock that holds up even now. The Dishwalla debut album is also surprisingly solid throughout.
Im so shocked Bound for the floor by local H
wasnt on here lol
Great song. Also liked high-fiving motherfucker off that same album. Obvious why that one never got any air play though
Has anyone mentioned OMC's "How Bizarre"? That's a fun song with the name of the band being tongue in cheek, and a cavalcade of musical influences coming together.
Plowed by Sponge. Reminds me of The Offspring or Social D a little bit
Amazing, AMAZING song.
They had Wax Ecstatic and Molly (16 Candles Down the Drain), which were both pretty big too. A few other more minor hits too.
"In a world of human wreckage, where I'm lost and I'm found and my feet touch the ground, I'm plowed into the side.......#"
Everything from Rotting Pinata to their fourth album is pure gold.
love it
I remember “Barely Breathing” from the “muzak” at my first job as a cashier when I was 16. Anytime I hear it I’m reminded of how much I hated that job.
The BH Surfers are national treasures
I’ve listened to pretty much every song they’ve made and I loved it (and yes that includes Weird Revolution)
Nada Surf: Popular
Psyched Up Janis: I Died in my Teens
Babylon Zoo: Spaceman
NY Loose: Spit
Mazzy Star: Fade Into You
Popular was definitely a hit. I can still remember the highschool music video
Nada Surf was/is a great band. It's a shame they only had one hit and it may've been the worst song on that record. Their first four or five records are all full of classics.
God Mazzy Star was so good.
Eels - Novocaine For The Soul
I was about to comment this too
dude, listen to other songs by Eels. they have a bunch of great songs like "My beloved Monster",
"Royal Pain", "I Need Some Sleep", "Losing Streak", there are so many good songs by them
@@ojnopulp4563 last stop:this town and my beloved monster are actually my favorites
They had a song in Shrek lol
The nostalgic feeling of these music videos is overwhelming lol
i dnt think counting blue cars would be a one hit wonder for Dishwalla. they have great songs like angels or devils, every little thing, somewhere in the middle, charlie brown's parents to name a few.
"Right Here, Right Now","Unbelievable","You Get What You Give"
Fatboy Slim is nowhere near on it wonder hell the album and that song came off of had three huge hits
@liquidwombat Who said anything about Fatboy Slim? Those songs are by Jesus Jones, EMF, and New Radicals, respectively.
Bryan Garcia The song “right here right now” is absolutely by Fatboy Slim
@liquidwombat He has a song of the same name, but I assure you that’s not who OP was referring to. The Jesus Jones song was released in 1990 (on September 11th, in fact), and the band most certainly became a quintessential 90s one-hit wonder as a result. The identically-titled Fatboy Slim single was released in 1999, and, apart from the fact that he was (as you pointed out) far from a one-hit wonder, I don’t really think he can be considered a ‘rock’ artist in the first place (that said, I wouldn't exactly classify EMF as 'rock' either, but there you are).
liquidwombat No. it’s Jesus Jones. But Real, Real, Real is another hit of theirs
Marcy's Playground's album "Shapeshifter" is great, and had amazing songs.
A few friends and I caught a show they were doing at this crappy bar. Of course they performed Sex & Candy, they even said 'lets get all the sexy ladies up here'. As I'm sure you can already guess that was a few not so sexy 30+ year olds trying to grind and do their best impressions of sexy. It was pretty cringe, like cringe overdose.
After the show I actually felt pretty awful, they had so much potential and now they only had bar gigs to show for it all.
Here’s some
The Gandharvas - First Day of Spring
Pluto - Paste
Hum - Stars
Ammonia - Drugs
Tripping Daisy - I Got a Girl
Stars was everywhere! Good call. The Gandharvas wrote one of my favorite songs, 'Downtime' as well as 'The Masochistic Minstrel'. Check that video out.
Oh Stars is so good.
I loved Pluto, I saw them open for Superdrag & Lifter
Barely Breathing is one of my all time favorite songs. It came at a perfect time where I needed to hear something like that
Counting Blue Cars takes me way back. It was a good year to be a freshman.
Flagpole Sitta is the spirit of the late 90's, and No Rain has one of my favorite solos of all time.
The whole Blind Melon album has some great guitar work.
Butthole Surfers are an amazing band and need to be explored much more deeply. I was waiting for Blind Melon, they are so far beyond "No Rain" it is criminal how few people recognize their talent and soul.
You wanna hear a good song by Butthole Surfers? Try "Whatever (I Had A Dream Last Night)" it's nothing like "Pepper" but it's quite good
@@linainverse9369 Their cover of Hurdy Gurdy Man or Who Was In My Room Last Night are also great.
I put Tubthumper #1 in a top 10 pawnshop/thrift store cd list. So many people ditched that cd after finding out they sounded nothing like that song! You can always find that cd.
Came to the channel through Pushing Up Roses; stayed for the awesome lists. Amazed I've never seen this channel before today!
Awesome! Thank you!
Kinda surprised that Primitive Radio Gods didn't make the list. Side note: Duncan Sheik's debut album is a really good listen.
I loved Possum Kingdom. Every time I hear it I remember riding on the bus to High School and singing it with my friends on the bus at the top of our lungs
My dad likes this song and I don't for the life of me know why
They have a song called Tyler about a series of kidnappings in texas. Tyler texas
Jesus, this is my entire high school mix tape right here.
Dishwalla also had a song "Haze" which I believe is a song about contemplating suicide and deciding not to go through with it. Growing up, I think my local radio station played it almost as much as they played Counting Blue Cars, maybe because Dishwalla were locals, but I liked it more than Counting Blue Cars and it's the song I remember them for.
The Freshmen by The Verve Pipe has always been one of my favorite 90s songs.
Photograph is the song that comes to my mind when I think of the Verve Pipe.
It’s a gripping story song from a decade (the 1990s) not known for story songs.
Great concert too. Saw them with Tonic in the 90s.
Jamie Walters - How do you Talk to an Angel
Only if you sing it live
Marcy Playground’s best song is Poppies
Matt Yoss YES!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
Yes
In the Meantime by Spacehog
Actually their whole album is pretty damn good!
Music!
Yes. That is correct.
♥️😎🤘
Hi Dom!
The lead singer of Butthole Surfers looks like what you'd get if you put Egorapter and Andrew WK in a blender.
That is a gigantic insult to their overall legacy.
A few unrelated things:
1. Dishwalla took their name from a Hindi term referring to someone in an Indian village or neighbourhood who was wealthy enough to purchase a satellite television or internet linkup and allowed other people to use their service. I think it's less of a phenomenon now that everyone has a cellphone.
2. I've been told that "Pepper" takes its name from a rather bitter joke: What's the spice of life? Pepper. Cheap black pepper. Seeing as the song is something of a celebration of thrill-seeking and joie de vivre in the face of nihilism, it's appropriate.
3. Toadies were one of the first bands I ever saw live! I think that was around the time of the video you used, too, maybe 2007 or 2008? They put on an excellent show. :3
I loved Dishwalla's debut album. Every single song on that album was awesome.
The verve bittersweet symphony one of my atf
They had a few other hits
I always find it interesting that they made almost no money from that song, because they sampled The Rolling Stones without permission.
In America, maybe.
Ugh
They had “The drugs don’t work” and “Lucky Man”
Breakfast at Tiffany’s by deep blu something and what’s up by 4 non blondes
Sneaker Pimps- 6 underground. BTW Becoming X is such a great album.
Yeah I love that album.
That’s a good shout.
The '90s were Rock's awkward puberty years. I loved the 1990s.
I love Chumbawamba!!! I have seen them live six times, four times BEFORE Tubthumping. They were an awesome live band. Their album Anarchy from 1994 is one of my all time favorite albums
I moved to Yorkshire in 1996 and saw them live maybe 6 months before that song got huge. It was a great show! Too bad they didn’t bother to spell their name correctly in this video.
"Not an Addict" by K's Choice.
I don't know how well this band did in Europe, considering the band is from Belgium, but in the US, I thought this band was a one-hit wonder.
Blind Melon is the 90s Number 1 Underrated band and I would put their self-titled album up there as one of the flat out best of the decade.
