[PaulOakenfold]

Does no one remember when Better than Ezra - Good was played every other song? Or how about that Collective Soul song, Jello or something?

[Pearl Jam]

zeus i think i'm missing the secret behind manic street preachers...sounds really generic to me

[Subjugation]

Nirvana--smells like teen spirit
Jane's Addiction---been caught stealin
Red Hot Pussylickers---Breakin the girl

i mostly listened to cd's in the 90's, not radio.

[Squeezer]

sigh, anything by KoRn.

[Sleepy Weasel]

Does no one remember when Better than Ezra - Good was played every other song? Or how about that Collective Soul song, Jello or something?

The song was Jel.

He already mentioned Collective Soul - December. "The World I've Known" by Collective soul was also pretty huge.

Eve6 - "Inside Out" was another song that was huge on the radio, the same year as that Marcy Playground - Sex and Candy song that TK mentioned.

Of course he's looking for radio songs that he remembers "fondly" not just stuff that was hugely popular. I've always thought collective soul was decent though.

[Puppet Master]

Some ones i can think of that haven't been mentioned are:

Eve 6 - Inside Out
The Verve Pipe - Freshman
Silverchair - Tomorrow
Deep Blue Something - Breakfast at Tiffany's
REM - Losing my religion
Pixies - Gigantic, Velouria
Pitchshifters - Genius
Blink 182 - Damnit, Josie
311 - Come Original
Fuel - Shimmer, Bittersweet
No Doubt - Don't Speak
Alanis Morisette - You oughta know, ironic
Cake - He's going the distance
