And then I heard "No More, No Less" by Collective Soul at Einstein Bagels. What was really surprising was that I had just been listening to the exact same song in my car on a CD. Walked into the bagel store and it was playing on their muzak system. Very strange! That reminds me... there was this one time where I drove to the bookstore when I was in NE a few years ago and on my mix tape "Illuminate" by Orbital f/ David Gray was playing. Then that same song was playing inside the store when I walked in. Today I heard Black Lab - "Time Ago," Semisonic - "Secret Smile," and Charlie Mars - "Gather the Horses" at Whole Foods. |

I don't know about obscure but I heard Pavement Cracks by Annie Lennox at the movie theater, I'm thinking last year.

The Push Stars' "Any Little Town" in the grocery store Def Leppard's "Girl Like You" Also in a grocery store Del Amitri's "Kiss This Thing Goodbye" again, grocery store Hey, Ragin. Are you a fan of the Push Stars?? I was just checking out their album on Amazon. I heard they were good through MB20 fans. I was curious about the band and whether their album was any good. |

Hey, Ragin. Are you a fan of the Push Stars?? I was just checking out their album on Amazon. I heard they were good through MB20 fans. I was curious about the band and whether their album was any good. I thought I already answered this but I don't see it on here. I like After the Party really well, but I haven't heard the two albums after that. I recommend giving some of the tracks a listen to see if you like them well enough to buy an album's worth of material. www.pushstars.com/discography/index.htmlthat might help. |

3 years ago in Europe I heard "Straight Up" by Chante Moore a lot. 2 years before that I heard "Riddle" by En Vogue a lot.

On Tuesday, while I was at McDonald's, I heard Kimberley Locke's "Wrong" (this will soon be obscure  ), followed by Jessica Simpson's "A Little Bit". And then today while I was at Burger King I heard Alanis Morissette's "Precious Illusions". |

This morning I heard "Back And Forth" by Aaliyah at Home Depot. Personally, I would think this not-so-obscure...it was her debut single and did make Pop's Top 20 (#17, no idea about BB). |

Still, not the kind of song you'd expect to hear on a Home Depot's instore music system.

I tend to consider a song as "obscure", not based on its chart performance, but rather based on how likely I am to hear the song nowadays.
Hence, if a song hit #1 but is never heard anymore, I will think of it as obscure, while if a #33 peaking song still gets occasional airplay, I won't.

This afternoon, as I was doing my weekly grocery shopping at Jewel-Osco in Michigan City, I heard "I Showed Her" by O-Town. That was quite a pleasant surprise, since we all know how much I love that song (in fact, I think I'm the only one on the boards who likes it)

I heard Free Me by Emma Bunton in a store the other day. Maybe not the most obscure, but in America...I never expected to hear it.
