Blow Off Thread: Songs That Were Huge, And Then Forgotten
I posted Stone Temple Pilots' "Plush" in the sidebar. For about a year, this was my jam.
But I haven't heard this song in 20 years, nor even thought of it. And, listening to it again, I'm wondering what I found so great about it. What songs are like that -- they were huge on the charts, or huge in your personal Top 40, and then just completely disappeared without any trace? I hated Bush (the band) at the time, and can't tell you how happy I was when everyone finally got on the same page as me and memory-holed them forever. I'll put up some real news in a few minutes, but it's mostly about Obama crying. I'll do an Obama crybaby thread next.Comments

When iTunes first came out, I started collecting the songs I remembered and liked. Now when someone suggests a song, I'll go listen but it has to be one of those things that resonates in your soul before I'll spend any more money.

"Rough Boy" by ZZ Top is another. Again, triggered in the comments here (someone mentioned the show "Night Flight"). I lived for that song to come up in the rotation during school dances so I could try to snag a little brunette named Amy and slow dance with her.

David Essex. "Rock On".
Hey kid, rock and roll
Rock on, ooh, my soul
Hey kid, boogey too, did ya
Hey shout, summertime blues
Jump up and down in my blue suede shoes
Hey kid, rock and roll, rock on
And where do we go from here
Which is the way that's clear
Still looking for that blue jean, baby queen
Prettiest girl I ever seen
See her shake on the movie screen, Jimmy Dean

Lots of good new music, it just may not be in a genre you like. Which I guess makes it not good new music? I dunno, I'm confused.

*****
In which Ace admits to not listing to modern rock radio in the last 20 years.
I've heard the song plenty of times on the radio. And that's just in 2015 (even prior to Weiland's death).
Bush gets less airplay, but that's probably because they haven't really put out music in close to 15 years.

Also, Backslider. That song's great because it was written by someone who actually knows wtf he's talking about. So many of the anti-religion songs are by people who seem to have a cartoon understanding of religion. Backslider though? That's legit. It's not really anti-religion, but it just perfectly shows that deep Texas fundamentalism that I'm sure many here are familiar with. If you've ever come home and worried that your family was raptured and you...weren't, this song's for you.

I never liked all the drama that went with Oasis, but I thought they had a couple of good songs. Although I am astonished, to this day, that they weren't sued over the song Cigarettes and Alcohol - it is an almost complete ripoff of Bang A Gong.

Oh man. The Beta Male's anthem.
I have a couple of Offspring CDs and liked them for the comedy in their songs. "Self Esteem" and "Pretty Fly for a White Guy" are great examples of that.
Actually liked Bush, and occasionally hear "Glycerine" on the local 70s - 90s rock station in Reno.
I don't know why, but a few days ago I suddenly remembered a solo-album song by the cutest girl in rock in the 1980s, Jane Wiedlin of the "Go-Go's". Of course, she's 58 now:

No, it was an excellent clue; I figured out who you meant pretty quickly. I couldn't stand that "Keep 'em separated" song when it came out, but time has softened my hatred and I actually sort of enjoy "Low Self Esteem" and "Pretty Fly for a White Guy" in a semi-ironic fashion these days, as long as I hear them rarely.

Ugh, a DC rock station used to play (maybe still does?) Porno for Pyros "Jane Says" All The Time (in the 2000's) --- so much so that the WashPost did an article about how the song was written about a roommate of the band's named Jane blah blah blah. Haaaaate that song.
*********
that same DC radio station played Too Much Tom Petty throughout the late 80's to late 90's.

No, it was an excellent clue; I figured out who you meant pretty quickly. I couldn't stand that "Keep 'em separated" song when it came out, but time has softened my hatred and I actually sort of enjoy "Low Self Esteem" and "Pretty Fly for a White Guy" in a semi-ironic fashion these days, as long as I hear them rarely.
...
oh lord, when Keep 'Em Separated comes on, people react like "Oh wow, what a great song!" and I want to fucking punch them in the neck.

Ugh. I was a Jane's Addiction fan since 1990; saw them live back then and a reunion-tour show around '97-98 and those two are still in my personal top 10 of probably hundreds of concerts I've been to. But I never liked either of their two songs that got any radio airplay, "Jane Says" or "Been Caught Stealin." Jane's was at its best as a heavy-guitar band, sometimes with soft sections of songs before the drums and guitars came crashing back over you. "Mountain Song," "Three Days," "Up the Beach / Ocean Size" -- those are what Jane's Addiction was all about.

I saw Porno for Pyros (at least I think that's who it was with Perry Ferrell) at a Lollapalooza in '96. Topless babes wearing long, layered crinoline skirts walking around stage on stilts. One of 'em had her skirt catch on fire from a clownish flame-blower guy (also on stage - it was a circus) and Perry stopped to song and has us all "pray for Ramona!".

long i like the adjective, i'm pretty certain.
they're another band that was huge and then forgotten. "I Alone" got huge play.
I remember they were from York Pennsylvania because every one of the 10,000,000 plays of "I Alone" began with the DJ saying "And here's some boys from York Pennsylvania who made good."
Fuck York Pennsylvania, though. Seriously.

I've told this story before but since when has that stopped me.
Boy BFF and I went to see the Foo Fighters and everyone was having a great time. All of a sudden, one of the smaller speakers (or maybe an amp) caught on fire. You saw the entire band give it the side eye and kind of scoot over to the other side of the stage. They didn't miss a beat in the song. A roadie comes out and starts trying to beat it out with t-shirts. This went just as well as the crowd informed him it would. Then he came back out and picked up what he thought was a bottle of water from the stage and, mid song, Dave Grohl yells out THAT'S NOT WATER!
Then someone competent came out with a fire extinguisher and Dave led us all in a round of applause.

I liked Porcupine Tree up till In Absentia, then they (and Wilson solo) kind of lost me. As a producer, Wilson's 5.1 remixes are amazing though. His King Crimson 5.1's are killer.
Loved Opeth but again, I started tuning out around Heritage. Still Life is such a classic, with Blackwater Park not far behind.

I was listening to a 90s retrospective show on All Songs Considered, and one of the hosts made a comment on that song that captured part of what annoyed me so much about it. There's one very specific part of the song where the fuzz-guitar does a little root - minor-3rd riff and then there's a vocal "Yeah" done with a total Eddie-Vedder/proto-Scott-Stapp-ripoff affectation. The radio host opined that that particular musical moment captured perfectly how the Seattle grunge sound of '91-92 was co-opted and commodified by other bands trying to capitalize on the latest hot trend, and Pearl Jam Nirvana degraded into Candlebox Limp Bizkit.

>I don't know who you are/but I/I'm with you
And then a few months later out she comes with an angry female liberation song, part of which went
>get off my bed/yeah that's what I said
Bitch figure out who he is before you decide to be with him and you won't have to have that conversation.
Same for you, TAYLOR

Years ago, the Catholic Church basically declared jihad on MTV. I was at my friend's house and we snuck into his older brother's room and watched. Mom was a devout catholic. Didn't end well. This was the song playing. Never forget it.

True he didn't have the longest Top 40 career, but he wasn't a one-hit wonder either. In fact he had three Top 40 hits:
"American Pie" and "Vincent" in 1971 and 1972, and
"Crying" (a remake of the Roy Orbison song) in 1978.

Most of the stuff mentioned is played prominently on satellite radio. Two of the best stations are 33 and 34, 80s alternative and 90s alternative/grunge. One notable exception is Toad the Wet Sprocket. They had 3 big songs, off the top of my head, that really fit in that 91 to 94 era. Two of the songs, however, are kind of like Dreams from the Cranberries and don't really fit in on a grunge station. The songs perhaps weren't big enough, like Dreams, to really get common play on the top 40 90s station.
The one song from Radiohead that gets play is Creep and occasionally a couple songs from The Bends. Their douchebag fans don't care for either of the first two albums because of the mainstream success. They prefer the unlistenable OK Computer and Kid A which might as well be farts in the wind as far as people actually listening to them. I always got the impression with OK Computer that people wanted to own it simply to be seen owning it, but I'm not sure anyone actually wanted to listen to it. An overwhelming majority of abstract art will suffer the same fate while people keep going back to Rembrandt and Van Gogh.

That first Primus album was boss. Best friend in HS had a ridiculous stereo in his auto so bumping around town to "Fish On" was epic.
I was just a little pup
And it was derby day
Was dad and me and Darrell
Out in San Pablo bay
Taco flavored Doritos
And my orange life vest
Dad caught a hundred pound sturgeon
On twenty-pound test
Now he fought that fish for an hour
And a half
Darrell'd say Jump ya sons a bitch!
And he grabbed for the gaff
When we got him in the boat
He measured six feet long
I was so danged impressed I had
To write a song called
Fish on

- "Freeze-Frame" (from the same album)
- "Angel in Blue" (also from the same album)
- "Love Stinks" (from their previous album in 1980)
And, "Flamethrower" should have been released as a single from that album as well. B-side of "Freeze Frame."

But rock and roll paid a hell of a lot better.

You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here.....
Deteriorata! Deteriorata!
Go placidly
Amid the noise and waste.
And remember what comfort there may be
In owning a piece thereof.
Avoid quiet and passive persons
Unless you are in need of sleep.
Ro-tate your tires.
Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself
And heed well their advice,
Even though they be turkeys.
Know what to kiss.....and when!
Consider that two wrongs never make a right
But that THREE.........do.

Bar band made good.
Yep. Back in the day Boston had a great club music scene led by the grand dame ( or armpit ) of clubs, The Rathskeller aka The Rat in Kenmore Square. An amazing number of bands passed through that place before going big.
Boston also had one of the best rock and roll stations in the country that used to do a lot of the promos at The Rat which is probably why it became so popular with up and coming bands, air play. The station was WBCN and it was really a ground breaking station back when.

Hah! When I was a van driver for a local hotel, I gave Toad the Wet Sprocket's drummer (Paul?) to their gig. I quoted the entire Monty Python skit to him ("Rex Stardust, lead electrical triangle of Toad the Wet Sprocket, had to have an elbow removed following their recent, successful, worldwide tour of Finland....etc"). He gave me tickets to the show, I was apparently the first person he'd ever met who knew the origin of their band name, lol.

Other than that, I dug that Spacehog song "In the Meantime." I haven't heard it on the radio once since 1996.
These songs weren't seminal or anything, they just didn't stick around as stubbornly as I would have expected given how huge they were for me at the time.
It was right around my 18th birthday that I started getting more reliably into classic rock and heavy metal and resigned myself to the transitory nature of all things.

I have a whole list of songs that once I hear them, I want to hear them 10 times in a row.
Stay/Load Out played back to back in either order by Jackson Browne
Smoke from a distant fire--John Townsend
Come and get your love--Redbone
Smoke Rings in the dark--Gary Allan
Hemingway's Whiskey--Kenny Chesney/Grace Potter
Long Black Train--Josh Turner
Respect--Aretha
I heard it through the grapevine--Marvin Gaye
Crazy Walking After Midnight--Patsy
The first time ever I saw your face--Roberta Flack
There are more, but, that's enough for now.
Wow, Sherry McEvil... Sure you did not copy over a good section of what is played the most from my mp3 player??? I would add a few others:
The Gambler: Kenny Rogers
Walking on Broken Glass- Annie Lennox
Jack and Diane- John Cougar

The insurance commercial ruined the Gambler for me. I was pretty tired of it anyone. Was having dinner in a very nice restaurant in Atlanta when Kenny and his entourage came in. It was just after he dumped his wife. He walked the long way to his table, making sure everyone noticed that whoa, Kenny Rogers, was right there. He is a tiny little man with a gigantic head, looks grotesque in person.

So glad their time has come and gone. so so band whose lead went waaay too politicky.
Originally "Let's Get it Started" had the title/lyrics "Let's Get Retarded." Not kidding. The music producers begged and convinced them last minute to change it. Can you imagine if they had stayed true to their original "poetic" inclinations? Puts the line "Let's get stupid" still left in the song in a new light.

I listened to Dead Can Dance a lot post-college. I loved Lisa Gerrard's voice, that's her on the Gladiator soundtrack.
Meatloaf was good, back in the day, when Steinman was writing the songs. Steve Vai, man could make guitar's sing. AC/DC, man I used to watch girls take their clothes off to them more than any other artist.
I wish The Killers were bigger or more active.

The band was called Europe and they were, get this, from Europe.
no way that was released in 2002. More like 1987.
A friend had the album. I remember. All the lyrics were obviously by people who spoke English as a second language. Which isn't a knock (I couldn't write lyrics in a foreign language), but it was all obvious stuff.
Like one of the songs was "Ninja." It was about, get this, a Ninja.
And it was all obvious, like "moving in darkness, striking like death." Crap you might have written in 8th grade spanish class, in spanish.
definitely not 2002. Definitely.

you are probably getting the "released in 2002" thing from the YouTube video, but that often is wrong. It might be when the song was re-released on some 80s Rhino collection or something.

gave Toad the Wet Sprocket's drummer (Paul?) to their gig. I quoted the
entire Monty Python skit to him ("Rex Stardust, lead electrical
triangle of Toad the Wet Sprocket, had to have an elbow removed
following their recent, successful, worldwide tour of Finland....etc").
He gave me tickets to the show, I was apparently the first person he'd
ever met who knew the origin of their band name, lol.

Very cool. They've always seemed like great guys to me. The drummer's name is Randy. He's a little dude, has osteogenesis imperfecta.
They were great in concert. Saw them again a year or so later when they came back into town.

Surprisingly Hanson is still together. Even more surprising they are
putting out music better than mmmbop. Even more surprising than that is
its better than probably all the other drek that is pop music.
I love Hanson. I don't even care if that makes me unhip or whatever. They write great music, are great performers (yes, I saw them live at the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom many moons ago), and seem to be a really close family. I wish more of today's pop acts were like them!

Lyrics:
Tell me the story, tell me the legend
Tell me the tales of war
Tell me just one time,
What it was like before
Bring me the feeling, right in that moment
When a heart for battle cries
Find me the treasure where the legend lies.
If I were a noble ancient knight
I'd stand by jour side to rule and fight
It will always feel the same
When I call out your name.
Ninja survive, in dreams I walk by your side
Ninja survive, with you there's no need to hide.
A handful of sayings are more than a reason
For me to feel this way
I'd like to be near you
Maybe for just one day
So tell me the legend, tell me the story

His chamber music stuff pretty much blows with the odd exception.

1998-02 was such a horrid period of music. Some of the worst have already been mentioned (Limp Bizkit, Korn, Slipknot), but a few that I didn't notice anyone mention: Staind, "It's Been a While" or whatever that piece of shit was titled; any of Puddle of Mudd's shitty hits "She Hates Me" or "Control" or "Drift and Die", they were all as awful as they were popular; Godsmack's "Alive", which lived on for quite some time in those Navy commercials with Keith David's narration; Linkin Park's "In the End", which combined whiny singing with annoying white kid rapping; and last but not least Crazy Town's "Butterfly" , endlessly repetitive until you want to jam an ice pick into your ears.
Two throwbacks from my high school days - EMF's "Unbelievable" and Queensryche's "Silent Lucidity", both of which were enormous hits and neither of which I've heard nor thought of in many years before sitting hear trying to think of songs for this thread.

It was an early rap song. Guy is all sweet and nice to his girl coming home, makes her comfortable on the couch. Then busts her for stepping out on him.
"That's right, baby, You're busted!"
Strips her of all the luxe gifts he's given her then kicks her straying behind to the curb on a cold rainy night.

Gone is the era where every pretentious indie band had song titles that were twenty words long and had nothing to do with the lyrics. If you could figure out the title of the freaking song then you were cool.
Nowadays every song is just one word because that is easier for millennials to find and remember, easier to market. Not sure which is worse.

You can always tell when Steinman's work is in play.
There's a good Meatloaf documentary on SHO. He and Steinman are one of those classic symbiosis stories. (Like Townsend and Daltrey). Guys who are only good together and insist on trying to prove otherwise.
The show has some of Steinman doing his own stuff solo. It's just creepy and weird. He needs Meatloaf to deliver it.
OTOH, he did also give Bonnie Tyler "Turn Around".

Dolby Noise Reduction was a great band. I heard them open for Reel to Reel back in 1973.
Srsly, I thought Dolby noise reduction was specifically designed to eliminate tape hiss, so in this digital media age, I would guess this is obsolete technology.

With a song title like that, I was expecting the video to be filled with scantily-clad women. Instead, it's just two gay guys making pie.
Dang it.

In the late 70's there was a show, Street Hawk, about a super motorcycle. One of the features of the super motorcycle was "hyperthrust", where the bike would go up to 300 MPH under external computer control (since human reflexes aren't fast enough to drive a motorcycle at those speeds).
"Hyperthrust" is pretty easy as special effects go... just speed up the film footage and make the onscreen speedometers display silly numbers. But it's kind of neat to watch, especially when they show it at night. They have some video of the helmet of the guy driving the motorcycle reflecting all the pretty lights as the bike drives really fast.
It helps that Tangerine Dream did the soundtrack! Tangerine Dream must have liked the music they came up with for the show, because they have recorded many versions of it; the Street Hawk Theme is now called "Le Parc".
Here's a clip from the first episode, featuring night-time hyperthrust and plenty of Tangerine Dream music.

Remember James Blunt? He was the one that sang that really sappy You're Beautiful. Elton John opened his mouth, told everybody this kid was the next big thing, and right on cue Blunt's career collapsed like a house of cards in a windstorm. One and done.

No no, Cee Lo had the Cosby-like drugging women and sex scandal that got him fired from The Voice. Tracy Morgan made the homophobe comments about not wanting his son to be gay. All was forgiven of the latter after the car accident, apparently. I guess the gay community viewed almost dying as enough penance?

The Guardsman "Snoopy Vs. The Red Barron."
That guy from The Loop in chicago, "Disco Duck."
A song we all know, but would never think to listen to.
The Tolkienns "The Lion Sleeps Tonight."

Also as an aside, I think the point of the thread isn't songs that were actually forgotten, but rather songs that we have all heard, but can't remember on our own.
That USED to be the popularity of 80's pop in the 90's in opposition to metal and grunge, as we aged and remembered what was POPULAR when we were kids. Now with streaming, the goal is to find songs that we've all heard, but totally forgot to ever try to listen to.

Ugh I'm mixing up everyone in my mind. Cee Lo was part of Gnarls Barkley with Danger Mouse.

The Austin classic rock station plays "Plush" regularly, along with the superior "Interstate Love Song," so again, I just don't get it.
But I've really enjoyed the path of songs on YouTube this thread led me down, to include "My Sharona," "This Beat Goes On/Slippin' To Glide," and "Long Cool Woman." Link to the last here, which includes the lyrics I never knew.
