Crash Test Dummies - Hmm hmm hmm hmm

Otherwise known as the most annoying song of all time

 

[kittens]

Seven Mary Three - Cumbersome

Poor bastards never recovered.

Another good one. Water's Edge was also popular in my town.

 

[RangersFan]

Candlebox - Far Behind

 

[Ferrio]

So speaking of blind melon, I was curious how the girl from the music video turned out

Not bad...

NO!! I had forgotten this song. You just took a year off my life.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

It's a shame people forget that Wheatus covered A little Respect, it's a great cover.


I would suggest "I am, I feel" by Alisha's Attic but it wasn't a one hit wonder, it wasn't even their highest charting song!

I actually really liked Wheatus' album I used to have it as my alarm daily

Was Sinead O Connors - nothing compares in the 90's?

 

[alr1ght]

Fastball - The Way

 

[PigSpeakers]

Seven Mary Three - Cumbersome

Poor bastards never recovered.

What about "Water's Edge"?

 

[Seth C]

Spacehog - In the meantime

Four songs in the US Mainstream Rock Top 30, but In the Meantime was the most successful. A shame, their first two albums are both incredible from start to finish.

Can't ignore Rhytm is a Dancer so technically a two hit wonder.

 

[Corto]

Ugly Kid Joe - Everything about you

L7 - Pretend We're dead

 

[Dishwalla]

Mr. Big had a song. Can't remember the name of the song, but they had one.

 

[RangersFan]

How about a 2 hit wonder, but they produced 2 of the best from the 90's

Soul Asylum - Misery
Soul Asylum - Runaway Train

man I remember 1992 was the first year my family had MTV and cable, I was 10 and Runaway Train video always made me cry. November Rain and Runaway Train were like 2 of my favorite 90's songs.

 

[RangersFan]

Better Than Ezra - Good

Another great one.

 

[Messypandas]

Mc Hammer - Can't touch this

2 Unlimiyed - No limit

Drops of Jupitor

 

[Kwhit10]

Creep- Radiohead

Spoiler

just kidding, they had Karma Police too

And they even stole that song from the Hollies.

 

[Zodzilla]

Reef- Place Your Hands

I always come back to this one. Not really a great fan of the singer's over-rasp, but damn is the chorus catchy.

I love runaway train. It's making me cry now.

Mr. Big had a song. Can't remember the name of the song, but they had one.

Baby, baby it's a wild world or something?

 

[kittens]

I know they had other big songs, but I'm gonna post this anyways cause the song is amazing:

Naked Eye by Luscious Jackson

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Can we expand this thread to talk about bands that were really huge in the 90's then just kinda faded away (at least in the US)?

'Cause I just want to talk about how awesome The Cranberries were/are.

 

[Enosh]

Ketchup song
by...
sec let me google that

"Las Ketchup-Aserejé" apparently

edit2: wait 2002, what the fuck? I thought that was from the 90s...

 

[Manmademan]

Hum- Stars. not exactly a "hit" but definitely should have been.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Also, here's another one hit wonder: Meredith Brooks - Bitch

 

[explodet]

Soul Asylum - Miser
Soul Asylum - Runaway Train

It's cool that the Runaway Train videos got some of the kids back to their families.

I also liked their Kevin Smith stuff.
Soul Asylum - Can't Even Tell

 

[cybamerc]

2 Unlimiyed - No limit

2 Unlimited is nowhere near a one hit wonder.

 

[Xeke]

What if God was one of us?

 

[glaurung]

Semisonic's Closing Time is a good one. I had forgotten all about it and then The Simpsons used it in one of the later seasons to a vomit inducing effect.

 

[Angry Grimace]

One hit wonder threads always devolve into a guy complaining that a band mentioned that he personally likes actually has like a bunch of hits and a huge fanbase.

My favorite part of Clerks II was when they ended with Misery at the end.

 

[Dishwalla]

Also, here's another one hit wonder: Meredith Brooks - Bitch

The last time I heard that song was walking through a K Mart about 5 or 6 years ago. Thought it was such a weird song to hear over the PA.

And what about that song "Where Have all the Cowboys Gone"? I think my best memory of that one was when Apu sang it on The Simpsons.

Paula Cole was kinda hot.

EDIT: Was.

2Unlimited had get ready for this too... A lot of their songs you hear at sports events outside those 2 (like the real thing, workaholic, etc etc)

 

[Corto]

Cowboy Junkies - Sweet Jane

Margo, so beautiful...

 

[RangersFan]

80's gets all the music love, but man listening to a lot of these songs in this thread, 90's music is great, especially the early to mid era.

 

[CoilShot]

New Radicals - You Get What You Give

I love this song and I listen to it regularly still. This is exactly what I was going to post.

 

[kittens]

Bohemian Like You by the Dandy Warhols

They're fairly popular, but none of their songs have ever been as big in the main stream as this one, as far as I know. Plus it's a great song and video.

Shut up you purple monster. You're killing the vibe.

 

[Epsilon]

Crowded House - Don't Dream It's Over

this one is late 80's /cheating

 

[Dishwalla]

Oh, and "Flagpole Sitta". You still hear that song on the radio. Along with "My Own Worst Enemy", although Lit did have other songs. And "Flavor of the Week".

It's like I'm watching American Pie.

 

[Manmademan]

Better Than Ezra - Good

Another great one.

In the Blood was the better song by them

 

[Seraphis Cain]

This thread seems as good as any to remind everyone that the top song of 1998 was about getting an erection while dancing.

Yes! Damn, I want to leave the house, but I also want to sit here and look up 90s songs all day.

This thread seems as good as any to remind everyone that the top song of 1998 was about getting an erection while dancing.

Haha, I recently looked that song up, and was like WTF. I did not pick up on that when I was a kid.

 

[explodet]

What about "Water's Edge"?

Can't say I ever heard it, but I think I was no longer listening to radio around that time, so if it was a hit, then I concede my point.

Here's another one we can debate:
Donna Lewis - I Love You Always Forever

 

[Kavanagh]

Push the Feeling On - Nightcrawlers

 

[Manmademan]

This thread seems as good as any to remind everyone that the top song of 1998 was about getting an erection while dancing.

That was the top song of 1998? man, the late 90s were pure shit. I like to pretend the 90s just stopped at 1996 or so

 

[PhoenixSFT]

This thread seems as good as any to remind everyone that the top song of 1998 was about getting an erection while dancing.

I wonder if there has been a song released every year from 1980-2000 about getting an erection/masturbating?

 

[blame space]

Marcy Playground - Sex and Candy

god i hate this fucking song

 

[Seraphis Cain]

I've got this weird thing about this song...I don't know. I don't WANT to like it, but...I do. Also DAT VIDEO. Donna Lewis is so cute.
