Not from the big name artists... Something along the lines of Veruca Salt, Toadies, Bloodhound Gang, etc. Feel free to mention songs from those artists whenever necessary...

From the playlist I have going right now...

Goldfinger - here in your bedroom
Squirrel Nut Zippers - Hell
The Flys - Got you
Local H - Bound for the floor
Cracker - Low (I guess this still gets played from time to time..)
Screaming Trees - Nearly Lost you
Eels - Novocaine for the soul
Butthole Surfers - Pepper (kinda the same deal as Low)
Sponge - Plowed
Toadies - Possum Kingdom

I guess some of these might not be as "forgotten" as you are looking for and might even been from early 2000s, I am too lazy to double check
