The 03 thread, if it were made today....would be this. Sorry to make most of you feel really old.

This is relevant to my interests though. There's tons of songs from my childhood that I have no idea what they're called, and I want to make a nostalgic 90's Spotify playlist of lesser known songs.

Their cover of "Another Day in Paradise" (yes, the Phil Collins song about homelessness) is quite something.

I'm assuming we're talking about singles that are just not as popular as the "go-to's" from the 90's? Not B-sides or deep cuts, because that gets extremely in the weeds.

Gotta throw in one of my favorites from Insomniac. Brain Stew/Jaded are really the only songs from this album you ever hear play anymore, but I still remember first learning this one with my cousin, as he struggled learning those bass lines when we were in high school.

Are the Toadies as heavily played outside of DFW? I grew up constantly hearing them on the Edge, but I don't know if it was the same around the country.

Possum Kingdom was a top 40 hit and top 10 rock song, so it got plenty of airplay nationally. It's also the only song I can remember hearing frequently on the radio in Houston.

Talk about forgetting... I dont even recall the song title, but Oleander had one big hit. I remember buying the CD and being so pissed off because the rest of it was absolute dog****.

Was going to say these all came out in 80s but were really popular (as far as industrial and EBM go) in early 90s. Front 242 was my first concert in fall of 93 in SA. Stabbing Westward and Ethyl Meatplow opened.
