This band never gives up! But I think they'll still go down as a one-hit wonder... btw really likin "Traffic And Weather" but don't think it's gonna be a single

They'll be a one-hit wonder to the mainstream, but they usually do very well charting on Triple A, don't they?

Not to mention they had a couple hits on Alternative in the 90's.

This seems like an odd single choice to me. It's one of my least favorites on the album, and it doesn't stand out to me at all.

^They had some really modest Triple A hits and did hit Alternative, but nothin major, especially after "Stacy's Mom" - I'd say most of the country def. considers them a one-hit wonder cause I don't even think their Alternative hits broke the top 20

Really? This is one of my favorites on the album. I agree that it's far from the best single choice though.

Fairly certain "Radiation Vibe" made the top 20, and positive "Sink To The Bottom" hit the chart, but you'd have to check with our resident Alt. chart experts to make sure. "Denise" off of Utopia Parkway made the Alt. chart but I'm pretty sure missed the top 20. "Red Dragon Tatoo" might have scraped the bottom of the chart, but I'm not sure of that.

Of course, most of the country thinks they're one hit wonders, because most of the country wasn't listening to Alternative radio in 1997.

Yeah the only one of those songs I've heard of is "Radiation Vibe" but thought that came out around 2001...I think I remember seein it on the playlists of some Modern ACs

I liked "Someone to Love", so I'd like to hear this.
