I really thought Big Wreck was gonna be big. The Oaf (My Luck is Wasted) was such a good song.

That Song is greatness.

Christopher Cross. Amazing Grammy winning debut album, song for a hit film, then PR folks said he was too ugly for MTV.
....and yet Tom Petty survived the video age. ACtually got bigger if anything. Ugliest mug in rock.
But I agree, I was a big CC fan......and TP too.
One I haven't seen (but could have missed).......not even my genre at all but I was swayed by their huge back to back to back top 10 hits on the first album....4x platinum album, 2 grammy's.....I thought they changed music. And then poof.
Arrested Development.
songs:
Tennessee
People Everyday
Mr. Wendall
Matthew Sweet

Currently wearing a David Gray concert tshirt
And this is probably my favorite song of his

The Mavericks. Guess they weren't country enough and not edgy enough for alternative.
I'm also surprised that Garbage isn't more popular than they already are, but I understand they are making new music. I guess when your band is a side gig/hobby it takes backstage to convenience.
You can't really classify what they do, but it's damn good.

But if you add a dose of flaco jiminez it gets a lot less crooning and soulful.

Buckcherry is also playing at the wildcatter in katy.
When that place was bar rescued i thought they should of made a music venue and called it Katy City Limits....instead of an oil themed bar.

Bob Schneider.
Live had one big album then poof, gone.
Pm dawn too.
Local band, always thought pushmonkey would make it. Tripping daisy is my ultimate music tragedy.

I saw Pushmonkey open for KISS in San Antonio in '96. I was sure they were going places.Mookie said:

Secret Samadhi was #1/multiplatinum and had a #1 hit and #3 hit.Mookie said:

Then a few hits on later albums - dolphins cry, heaven etc.
Live is another band that got caught in the transition from grunge into the next big thing. Secret Samadhi and The Distance to Here were also pretty good and big albums, but their next experimental album, V, was released a week after 9/11 and never did much.Quote:

Quick read and I found Justin from the End Zone in Katy (another bar rescue bar), is now the owner of wildcatter.
I liked Mental Jewelry and Throwing Copper, but I didn't care for anything that followed those two.Quad Dog said:Live is another band that got caught in the transition from grunge into the next big thing.

Garbage still surprises me that they aren't bigger. They have eight fairly big singles across two albums and then nothing ever had commercial success after that. They had a break between 2005 and 2012 but outside of that window, even with Butch Vig's producer duties, they tour often and have put out albums regularly. Just on their legacy alone they should be headlining outdoor amphitheaters size venues and not House of Blues.SWCBonfire said:

Bodeens. Love their sound. One hit from Party of Five Show was not indicative of their music.
True Believers out of Austin.

With all of The Wonders and That Thing You Do references, I have to add Fountains of Wayne to this list. Adam Schlesinger, 1/2 of FoW, wrote the song That Thing You Do for the movie. I've heard FoW's version of the song which is cool.
A few from my 90s list...
FoW
The Push Stars
3EB
7 Mary 3
Marcy Playground
Dishwalla
Gin Blossoms
The Refreshments (now Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers)
The Nixons

I saw them multiple times and always liked them. I still play their CD every once in a while on long road trips.gggmann said:
Breedlove - mid 90's Austin band. I used to go listen to them play at Steamboat on 6th St a lot. Jimmy Vaughn's son was guitarist in the band. They released one album which is really good, but they fell apart shortly afterwards.
The Walkmen. They did it for a while, but never got their due.
criminally underrated, should still be together and working

Midnight Oil. What happened to them?
More recently, the band Grouplove

I think Grouplove is still going. Songs still pop up on the alt pop channels. Nothing as grand as that first album though.
Just getting into Butch Walker after seeing an episode of Eddie Ball In Pursuit of Tone featuring him, and I'd never heard of him. Seems like a super cool dude, and I'm loving The Spade and certain songs from Afraid of Ghosts and Stay Gold.Jim01 said:
Marvelous 3 was such a great catchy band.
Butch Walker is great solo and has had a nice career behind the scenes. He was nominated for 2 Grammys last year for producing two different rock albums (Weezer and Fall Out Boy).
Also highly recommend this documentary about him around recording what's is still one of my all time favorite albums. (Butch Walker and The Black Widows - The Spade).

He comes to Austin almost every year to play the MJM Charity show (the one started by Mack Brown, Jack Ingram, and Matthew Mcconaughey).
I wished he'd come through on a full solo show to Houston.

Glad to have a new Butch fan! Thought I'd throw these two videos just to try and attract more fans. Stripped down versions that show off his voice and style.
I think the reaction by the crew at the end of the first video says it all. "Holy ****!"
Most recently he produced Rob Thomas' new album, which has had a decent hit. 96.5 here in Houston plays "Can't Help Me Now" a lot.
