Hmm.. if that qualifies as forgotten, I'm curious what the bar for remembered is.

Forgotten = subjective.

^ I think Bush "Glycerin" is unfortunately not forgotten, though. ^

I'm thinking more like one-hit wonders like Whale's "Hobo Humpin Slobo Babe" for example.

Well, to be forgotten it must have at one time been very top of mind. Esoteric songs not many have ever heard don't really count.

Very Mercenary peaked at #19 in the UK. Widely known

Forgotten , no but copied by others

Fun song, there was a lot of Dr. Demento-level stuff on the air briefly there in the 90s. The "Pushing Little Daisies" one (Ween?) and the Lips' "Vaseline" were entries. Some eels.

Not quite the same thing, but I loved this one.

That's definitely one I haven't given any thought since the millennium came around!

A friend of mine made a 90s playlist recently, and she put Glycerine on there, as well as Brimful of Asha. I contributed Detachable Penis, LOL.

Haven't heard this in a while.

I don't know how forgotten Possum Dixon is, 'cause you have to be thought of in the first place to achieve that status, but they're definitely obscure. They were part of the early '90s coffee house scene in Los Angeles. Yeah, there was an early '90s coffee house scene.

I love their 1993 self-titled debut. Their sophomore album "New Sheets" (1996) was produced by Ric Ocasek, but it suffers in comparison.

Below are the first three tracks from their debut. "Watch the Girl Destroy Me" got the most attention. "In Buildings" is my favorite.





The band's frontman Rob Zabrecky is now a professional magician. I learned this from a friend of my mine who's a professional juggler. Welcome to L.A.!

This one only recently came back to my mind, but perhaps it isn't quite as forgotten on the other side of the pond?

RIP Pat DiNizio

Probably the greatest "one hit wonder" of the '90s?
