What Singer or Group had only moderate success but you Loved them

[Lumpy1106]

Oh, can't forget OK Go. These guys are best known for taking videos to the next level, but the music is really good too.

 

[AustinTink]

And then there's that whole "Big Bang Theory" theme song thing...

Absolutely. They are doing just fine from song royalties on that song alone. I saw the lead singer perform the BBT theme song (and other songs) at a private party, just him and an acoustic guitar. Very nice guy.

 

[Moliphino]

I'm not really a fan of the band but I like the song. They had limited success otherwise.

I like the radio edit. That was all I had heard and I played it on a jukebox in a bar once. Like 10 minutes later I asked my sister who played this awful song, not realizing it was still this, and she told me it was me. Oops.

Lisa Harlow Stark.

Barenaked Ladies probably fall into this category. I remember buying the Yellow Album from Sam the Record Man's flagship store.

Still love them! Rock spec is a great album and they are still making great music

 

[FlightlessDuck]

Gaelic Storm is only big in Celtic music circles. Ironically, they were in a blockbuster movie, and didn't make a dime.

 

[low-key]

I'm still a big Southside Johnny fan! But growing up in Cleveland in the '70's and '80's, there was no group bigger than Michael Stanley Band. Not much on Youtube of them. Saw them at Blossom in the summer, the Coliseum New Year's Eve, etc.

thats 4 sure

How about Toad the Wet Sprocket? They are a Santa Barbara band so to me they are the quintessential Central Coast sound. Lots of great memories.

Oh I remember them! I liked them

 

[SamFaniam]

I don't understand why JD McPherson isn’t bigger - his music is great!

 

[Mr. Higitus Figitus]

Nelson. They are the twin kids of Ricky Nelson. These songs are still in rotation on the old iPod and iPhone.

 

[AustinTink]

I have always loved Big Head Todd and the Monsters. I never understood why they didn't go further.

I've seen them 3 times in concert. They never disappoint.

I have always loved Big Head Todd and the Monsters. I never understood why they didn't go further.

Maybe their name, lol

 

[AustinTink]

Maybe their name, lol

You're probably right.

 

[Julia M]

I loved Bruce Hornsby and the Range. Still do.

 

[cobright]

Oh... maybe Type O-Negative.

 

[Micca]

Nelson. They are the twin kids of Ricky Nelson. These songs are still in rotation on the old iPod and iPhone.

I'll never forget this classic tv moment about Nelson

Butt-head: These chicks look like guys.
Beavis: Yeah. That one's not wearing a bra.

 

[cabanafrau]

I loved Bruce Hornsby and the Range. Still do.

That's just The Way It Is.

 

[Mackenzie Click-Mickelson]

I'd say t.A.T.u and their 200 km/h in the Wrong Lane album (multiple songs)

My best friend and I would play that on replay so many times just chillin'. After that album they kinda faded away from the popularity here but even this many years later my friend and I will randomly bring back some of those memories by listening to that and messaging back and forth about the those 'back in the day' stuff.

Danny Elfman ended up retiring due to hearing damage. However, Oingo Boingo may not have charted high, but they did a lot of touring in between Danny Elfman composing scores.

not to mention a great spot in "Back to School" !
