Picking three songs from 1999 that I think could of been big singles but they got no radio or MTV rotation ( or very very little)
ironically pick three (Jimmy Eat World) did blow up commercially on there third album two years later. The other two never did although some play on MTV. Below I discuss the tunes and why I think they didn’t get the exposure they deserved!
Artist - Saves The Day
Song - Shoulder To The Wheel
Album - Through Being Cool (1999)
Artist - Get Up Kids
Song - Ten Minutes
Album - Something To Write Home About (1999)
Artist - Jimmy Eat World
Song - Lucky Denver Mint
Album - Clarity (1999)
For Bonus Picks I’m gonna pick an older song from each of the bands above. As luck has it all picks above are from each bands second album so below are from the first! You can hear how they came from the same mid nineties “Underground “ rough sound emo scene hearing the difference from first to second record. Emo was basically indie rock. Obviously Emo 🖤 meant something different when those boy bands like My Chemical Romance highjacked it but in the nineties this was “Emo”
