Comment:

To the best of my knowledge, all of the above were released to radio as singles. Some of them made a minor splash but, in my opinion, didn't go as far as they should have.

Right on the money on almost all these songs! Especially The Caulfields, Buffalo Tom, Josh Joplin, and Guster. If only the record companies/radio stations got it...

That Semisonic song DEFINITELY should've been bigger. It's my favorite song of theirs.

I Love most of these, the Guster selction I didn't quite get at the time, I mean I am a Guster fan and remember even when they tried to get everyone to get the song on TRL, but I thought it was one of the worst songs on that CD (but that is an excellent CD)..Great mix

I'm also surprised that "Soda Jerk" wasn't one of the biggest singles of the 90's. Ah well, in a better world...

What an excellent theme!! I've given up tryin to figure out what makes a hit anymore. Mariah Carey has a million number one songs but Guster, Jellyfish, Jayhawks. etc doesn't. Can't figure it out...
