Musical Flashes In The Pan From The 1990s
People loved and still love 80′s music but what about the 90′s? The 90′s were full of forgotten treasures that set the stage for future acts. Bands such as Green Day, Radiohead and Pearl Jam made it big back then and are still huge today.
On the other side of the equation, there are some of those bands who penned a big hit, winning them a legion of fans. Unfortunately, these bands never managed to cash in on their success by following through with any more hits.
These are formally known as one hit wonders and no one can ever remember the bands names only the title of the hit songs, for obvious reasons.
Remember the song Breakfast At Tiffany’s? People went crazy over that song for months, as it sat near the top of the charts. Can you remember the name of this band?
You probably wouldn’t guess it after ten tries, it was Deep Blue Something, the exemplary one hit wonder of the 90′s.
Here’s another one. How about the song “The Way”? This one was released during the late 1990s, and many absolutely loved it. In fact, it still receives occasional airplay today. Unfortunately, the band was never ever to replicate the success shown in this song.
The Rembrandts, they are my third temporary sensation to make the list. Their hit song is played and listened to every day and many people wouldn’t even be able to put the name of the band to the hit song.
Their hit song, I’ll Be There For You, was so popular and so catchy that the hit TV show Friends decided to use it as their theme song. This band also faded into obscurity shortly after the success of this hit.
But the questions is, who has helped produced the one hit sensations list for the 2000′s? That one is coming soon.
