What songs were played so often when they first came out, but now you never hear them anymore?

"Kiss the Rain" by Billie Myers (my all-time favorite)........"Criminal" by Fiona Apple......."Maria" by Blondie............and many more....

-*Forever*- · 04-28-2002, 12:28 PM

Anything of the Spice Girls... they had a new song but it kinda sucked... I think I'm they only one in the world who actually bought their new CD. It was WEIRD. But there was at least 2 good songs on there. Hmm.

Show Me Love by Robyn
I Know Where It's At by All Saints

I can only think of these two songs for now. I haven't heard these songs on the radio for quite awhile.

vienna waits · 04-28-2002, 03:17 PM

You and me Baby ain't Nothin but Mammel. Well I mean you still might here it today but not as much as it was played in spring 2000.

Chocoholic · 04-28-2002, 03:47 PM

"The Hardest Thing" by 98 Degrees
"The Ghost of You and Me" by BB-Mak
"How do I Live Without you?" by Leann Rhimes
"I'm Loving Angels Instead" by Robbie Williams
"She's all I Ever Had" by Ricky Martin
"I Swear" by All-4-One

My local radio station used to play these songs all the time, but now I have to pull out my CD's to hear them.

That's the sad thing about music today - nobody writes songs that have any staying power.
Sure, a song might get played to death on radio and MTV but once it's charted you never hear it again cos the radio stations are plugging the next "big thing". I'm sick of hearing that bloody N*Sync and Nelly tune right now. And if I hear 'How You Remind Me' one more time I'm gonna destroy something! But I betcha that, in a couple of months time, you probably won't even remember either of these songs.
Bands don't write anthems anymore, you know what I mean? Queen wrote 'Bohemian Rhapsody' in 1975, it's been number 1 on 3 separate occasions and you still hear it today. Black Sabbath wrote 'Paranoid' in 1970 and it's still considered a classic. None of these stupid manufactured pop acts that clog up the charts today could even dream of writing songs that!

Oh I know what you mean! I LOVE Queen! Bohemian Rhapsody is one of my favorite songs. Did you ever hear the Bicycle song? That's is my favorite song!!! I LOVE that song! And I'm with ya on the Nickelback song. I have another to add to the list. The Santana song with Rob Smith. OMG I mean I like him, it's just I've heard that song wayyyyy toooooo much and I just change the station right away when I hear that or Nickelback. It was okay at first, but now I could Die!

DarleneIllyria · 04-28-2002, 05:56 PM

I think it was really big when I was in 7th grade. God, it must've came on every 2 seconds. I thought it was so irritating when it came out, so that is one song I'm glad has faded.

That's all I can think of now....

Kay Scarpetta · 04-28-2002, 06:04 PM

"So In Love With Two" by Mikalia. I doubt people even remember this LOL

Rockapella722 · 04-28-2002, 10:36 PM

I ALWAYS hear "The Ghost Of You And Me." It was so popular. I still love it.

Oh, yeah. "So In Love With 2." I remember that... I don't like it, but I remember it.

I'd have to say "Goodbye" by the Spice Girls. That song is so pretty. It was so underrated.

*Marilyn Monroe* · 04-28-2002, 11:01 PM

That one song Celine Dion sang for Titanic. I was gonna have to throw away my radio if i heard it one more time!

Okay, I'll quit. Just couldn't resist.

Liza · 04-29-2002, 01:05 AM

I have to admit, I miss the Macarena!

Also, whatever happened to Ace of Base? "The Sign" was all anybody was singing when I was in middle school.

And a blast from my childhood, "Ice Ice Baby" Is Vanilla Ice dead, or is he just frozen next to Austin Powers?

Ags2000 · 04-29-2002, 01:08 AM

Achey Breaky Heart by Billy Ray Cirus.

They played it SO much when he came out with it. There was one country station that was brand new that played it for 24 hours when they first came on the air.

I like the song and all, but that was just WAY over kill.

Some one mentioned the Macarena. Just be glad you live wherever you do, they STILL play it down here. Hey, thats what I get for living in little Mexico.
