The Screaming Trees-

It's a shame that alot of 'grunge' era bands went under when the buzz lost it's urgancy....I Mother Earth,, Mudhoney, and such. Much better than the so called "alt rock' crap that goes for music now. Alt to what? Originality,perhaps?

RC, I recall that song and it was around same time period.  Seems there were a lot of good one hit stuff in the early/mid 90s. Heres two more...

A bit of a cajun swing to alt rock.

Here's a cute little ditty from one-hit Bloodrock I remember from my childhood:

An even more disturbing tune, also from 1971:

I'm grateful for Toni Basil's hit because it spawned one of my favorite "Weird Al" videos:

They were known for a few other songs but this is the one I recall getting played the most. I'm not a big fan of rap metal but these guys did it more towards the metal side.

Might I add in the Pseudo Echo cover of this song in the 80s.  It rocks and it is pretty much their only hit.

THE TOKENS' "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" went to #1 in November 1961, a month and year very close to my own heart.  Definitely one of "those" songs.  10 years later, THE TOKENS record started getting airplay again (I remember that very well.)  Always loved that record.  I also always loved this one:

(LLOYD PRICE had many hits, not a one-hit-wonder, but that record is perfect for this time of year.)

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
