I've heard her name. Had never seen her or heard her music.

She is lovely. Or was. Whatever.

Orbit - "Medicine"
Material Issue - "Valerie Loves Me"
Loud Lucy - "Ticking"
Man these are pretty obscure. The only one I remember is the Valerie song & that was after listening to it.

With the music and that video I always wish that could be a song when I need to escape to my happy place. But then the lyrics start and for the eleventy billionth time I realize it's not and I'm sad.

I mean seriously, if you are going to act snobby and don't know who Material Issue was then you really can't claim to know the 90's music scene.

Similar to the Toadies discussion earlier, if you were from the midwest or watched 120 minutes/listened to alt radio in the 90's those songs were are all hits. Material Issue was a big cult band hence the IPO festival.


So is Material Issue like the hipsters choice for grunge from before hipsters were a thing?

If a song doesn't land on the Billboard top 100, it is not a hit. Radio play does not make a song a hit. Charting on a rock, rap, R&B, etc chart does not make a song a hit. For a song to be a hit, it has to be popular among the masses. Material Issue and Orbit are zero hit wonders.

Re: Toadies.

Always wanted to see this band... will finally get to attend their show during Richardson's Wildflower Fest in a few weeks.
Oh wow! Another "final tour" from the Toadies?!

There is definitely not a bunch of knowledgeable 90's music pros here. This has been consistently demonstrated.

They also had "Volcano Girls," which probably a bigger hit. I'd call them more of a 2-hit wonder

That's one of my favorites and also recently sampled by Dua Lipa.

I think The Verve were too big to be included, but they only had one big "hit":



One of the best songs ever, much less from that decade.

The Verve had a lot of hits on the UK charts. Their only US hit made a lot of money for the Rolling Stones manager after they were sued.

Just a reminder that the B sides of Oasis are better than any song posted on this thread

Oasis has more hits than a Liam and Noel brawl so I'm not sure the point you're trying to make.

By this definition "Stairway to Heaven" isn't a hit song.
