Actually, the song was just named, "You."

That whole CD was fuggin' awesome, though.

I meant obscure as in you would remember hearing them all the time on the radio, but you forgot about them or had no idea who the band was. A lot of these answers fit that description.

 

[BDawg]

Meat Puppets - Backwater

 

[vi edit]

Sadly enough, I own about 75% of the albums that the songs in this thread are on

Would "Loser" by Beck count? Besides Devil's Haircut, and Where it's at, that's his only real "famous" song.

I'm with you. None of these songs are that "obscure".

 

[Led Zeppelin]

Two of my favorite forgotton about 90's tunes (or were they from 2000?)

The Graduation Song (I think that's the title): Vitamin C

Tonight & The Rest Of My Life: Nina Gordon

I dunno, "Sexx Laws" and "Mixed Bizness" were pretty ubiquitous for a while there.

You could also make the case that "Creep" was Radiohead's only "hit" song, but I think everyone remembers who sang it.

 

[ATLien247]

Hmmm... a local alternative radio station plays a lot of these songs...

KXRK 96.3 a.k.a. X96

Just thought of another one (was it in 2000, though?): Teenage Dirtbag - Wheatus

 

[oblizue]

Just barely making it into the 90's
Pixies - Velouria

 

[Mr.IncrediblyBored]

Was anything by Poe ever on the radio?

Yeah, and only about 10% of it is rock. The rest is pop crap and is polluting this thread.
