One that comes to mind is Fastball. I love the song The Way from them. Amazingly enough, i think that was one of the first cd's I ever bought, when i was 13 years old in 1998. It's a shame they suck because that song is good.

    Fire Escape & Out of My Head are catchy tunes...I actually like them a bit.

    oh man, so many one hit wonders, I would not even know where to start. I heard a song about 3 weeks ago, and my buddy told me it was off the new fatsball album. I guess they have a new album...anyways, it was a good song.
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    Harvey Danger does a pretty good cover of Save It For Later...I found it while searching for the original.

    Remember Dishwalla?

    Yeah, Dishwalla was Counting Blue Cars (Tell Me All Your Thoughts On God)

    The Eels-Novocaine for the Soul

    That's a great track.

    Thumbs up on the Juliana Hatfield 3 song...I put that in my iPod not too long ago.

    Harvey Danger was and still is a terrific band. They put on a really good live show. They just fell into some record label trappings and were kind of screwed for a while, much like another semi-one-hit-wonder, the Toadies.

    Sean, H.D.'s lead singer, is a really cerebral lyricist. Very brainy and booksmart with a lot of his references. They've been one of my favorite bands for a long time thanks to his songwriting.

    Marvelous 3-Freak of the week

    I believe Butch Walker is doing some solo stuff now, but he also worked with Avril on some of her albums.

    Sugar Buzz was a catchy track too.
