came across this one last night while watching some old beavis and butthead clips on youtube (and while also looking for more obscure bands form the 90's)
actually the main dude,Bo Johan Renck, directed three episodes of Breaking bad and one episode of The Walking Dead. Also directed a few music videos like Chris Cornell's "Can't Change Me" and most recently David Bowie's "Blackstar" and "Lazarus"
He's from sweden and I'm pretty up to date on him but did not know he did the Can't Change Me-video.
He's a really talented director.

Aw, I feel bad about putting Matthew Sweet in the same category as Right Said Fred and Chumbawumba. He's a well-regarded musician, did a lot of work with Lloyd Cole IIRC. I guess it depends on how we're defining "best"? Because he's a very talented guy, not a novelty act.
All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

Lloyd Cole is a name I haven’t thought of in a while. He is married to my friend’s sister, Beth. I went to their wedding with my friend. Feels like a lifetime ago.
Of almost everything I've seen on this thread, I think this fits the most here.
The "One hit" part is obvious- "Fade Into You" is such a great song great. But of course that doesn't mean Sandoval and Roback didn't make other great music together. Both So That I Might See and Among My Swan are filled with terrific cuts.
Which brings us to the "wonder" part. It's truly a wonder these albums didn't garner a broader audience.
Alas, the 90's...
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
Holy shit I remember this one! This was when all the cool clubs in NYC were getting closed down by Gulianni and a huge growth of Techno was out there. I listened to so much underground stuff from the Limelight that was amazing.
I was too young to go to any of the clubs but I got a hold of the music.

Chumba was big in the punk scene though even with only 1 mainstream success.

And for Good Measure - I think this song was pegged as a one hit wonder, and the artist proved us all wrong.
