Out this week said Billboard. I've heard it a few times recently. Solid rock song, and the name certainly looks familiar. Any previous minor hits?

American Hi-Fi, three albums and one soundtrack single and only one minor hit: "Flavor Of The Weak". I'm glad they're still kicking though.

Flavor Of The Weak was a pretty big hit on pop back in 2001.

To my surprise I do have the self-titled CD. I'll give that a listen later to see if it's familiar.

I would call "Flavor of the Weak" a hit and "Another Perfect Day" and "The Art of Losing" minor hits.

I did review the disc. Surround was pretty good. Weak didn't sound familiar. Hi-fi Killer was cool also.

If you claim to know everything in the world of modern rock radio, and you've never heard "Flavor Of The Weak," one of these statements must be false. That was definitely one of the bigger alternative singles of the first part of the decade.

I only said it didn't sound familiar. I'm sure it passed through my ears during its release. But there are plenty of big songs I choose not to recall if you know what I mean. Nielsen shows a #5 peak in '01. I'd bet there are some higher peaking songs you many hear don't know or remember either. I know I do!

I still hear "Flavor of the Weak" on the radio every now and then, but apparently I'm alone. It doesn't get played very much these days.

They play "Flavor Of The Weak" on WPBZ every once in a blue moon. I remember this song being pretty huge when it came out and driving to high school and hearing it on most mornings.
