Every band has some dedicated fans. But if you asked the general population, damn few would be able to name any songs beyond 'Our House'. Myself, I also loved 'One Step Beyond' but that's it, I don't recognize any of the other titles and I tend to be a music hoarder (collecting entire albums to try out based off a song).

Love this thread. Thx.I'm talkin' about those kinda songs that often pop into your head, and you're like, "Oh crap. What was the name of that artist?!". Or the kinda songs that take you back to a place time has forgotten, and you suddenly feel like a kid again. :D
It doesn't necessarily have to be good, or something that you still like. But something that invokes memories of a certain place or time. I'll start us off.
Paula Cole - Where Have All The Cowboys Gone
Deee-Lite - Groove Is In The Heart
4 Non Blondes - What's Up?
Joan Osborne - One of us

YES. I was just seeing that being recommended.
Double whammy hit? Sorry. Take your pick.

I didn't either for the longest time. I always wondered what the connection between the two bands was but never put it together or bothered trying to find out. Not actually a huge huge fan tbh, at least compared to how much I like Talking Heads, different strokes though.
