I was surprised and pleased to see that on the list. I don't remember it getting a lot a airplay except on "alternative" stations. Maybe it did in the U.K.The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony (1997)
History note: The video for that was the first one shown on MTV.Buggles - Video Killed the Radio Star (1979)
They forgot
Ambrosia - Biggest Part Of Me
Ahh, more Memory Lane, thanks! :biggrin1:
Yes, it's from a musical called Chess that ....well, where is this musical?![]()
Wasn't the musical "Chess" written by some of the members of Abba?
One hit wonder wiki
I find veritable treasure exists in the form of songs by one hit wonders that didn't make the cut for the one hit:
Odd that I can't find the original vid for this: Rupert Holmes - Escape (The Pina Colada Song)
So let's watch some underage girls lipsynch to a song about booze and sex on the dunes of the cape :tongue:
Anyway, Rupert had another minor hit - "Him". I used to hear both of these incessantly on the Lite FM station I had to listen to at my first job, over the intercom at a hardware store. It's a neat little nugget, with the minor chords and walking bass line and weird vocal solo and all. This is Rupert on Don Kirschners' Rock Concert - lipsynching :biggrin1:
k... everyone knows Gary Wright's "Dreamweaver" - featured in various movies, staple of late nite classic rock radio headphones only deep cuts... as well it should, as Gary pioneered the use of Moog equipment in pop rock on the record this song came from, which makes this version of "My Love Is Alive" fuckin smoke. More cowbell! Steve Porcaro on bass Moog, brother of the late Jeff, drummer for Toto, Steely Dan, et al.
Another: Stephan Bishop did the theme for "Tootsie". He had earned the spot from the previous success of the seemingly one-off "On and On" a year or two earlier. Very pretty song. Slide guitar makes it.
Shut up about my Lite FM fetish - I think it makes me more interesting :biggrin1:

Here are a few omissions:
Len - "If You Steal My Sunshine"
Sugarloaf - "Green-eyed Lady" (one of my faves)
Dead or Alive - "You Spin Me (Right 'Round)"
Billy Paul - "Me and Mrs. Jones" (one of my faves)
And, Blind Melon should not be on the list. They had at least one more hit before Shannon Hoon died, "Galaxie".
