Bottom Feeders: The Ass End of the ’90s, Vol. 34

Dave Steed September 3, 2012 8

Section 3: The Airplay chart

Reprise didn’t release any official singles for Green Day in the ‘90s and therefore every song you heard on the radio hit the airplay chart only. They are: “Long View” “Basket Case” “Welcome To Paradise” “When I Come Around” “She” “J.A.R.” “Geek Stink Breath” “Brain Stew/Jaded” “Walking Contradiction” “Hitchin’ A Ride” and “Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life).”

About the author: Dave Steed View all posts by
Dave Steed is all about music; 80's and metal to be exact. His iPod will shuffle from Culture Club to Slayer and he won't blink an eye. He's never heard Astral Weeks but thinks "Dazzey Duks" by Duice is the bomb. It's an odd little corner of the world he lives in.

    Oh my god! There was a “Macarena (Country Version).” A Bluegrass+Dance music track, actually, according to the Groovegrass Boys wikipaedia page, featuring Bootsy Collins. To make things even weirder, the Groovegrass boys were led and directed by Scott Rouse who was also the man musically behind Jeff Foxworthy’s “Redneck Stomp” so this is not his first appearance on Bottom Feeders!

    I’m going to have to keep Scott Rouse in mind and do sightings if he starts showing up any more. But yes, I almost broke my rule of simply posting but not going into detail about the bubbling under tunes for this one. Why could this not have hit #99 for even one week!

    Amel has been relatively productive with solo and collaborative projects since then, but she’s never even come close to the success of “Tell Me.” The rest off this depresses me.

    Gee I was at TSC/TCNJ in the mid 90s when you were working at the station. I don’t know much of this music and I’m maybe five or six years older than you

    Certainly Gravity Kills was the only thing we got near out of this group

    Hard to believe that “Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)” wasn’t a single, but I guess that’s one of those songs that really built its reputation over time (especially every year around graduation time). I found it humorous around the time “American Idiot” came out that my daughter’s high school friends would come over to the house and be amazed that I has a whole collection of CDs from a band they were just starting to hear about.

    GnR hit the top 40 with “You Could Be Mine” “Don’t Cry” “Live and Let Die” and “November Rain”

    “their output after Appetite for Destruction really wasn’t that impressive.”

    O.k… whatever.
    Clearly your misguided or drunk.
    G’N'R, including those songs and those albums are one of the last relics of rock. Real Rock.
    Not like the girly Aerosmith kind (like that crap song “Pink”).
    Pure Rock.
    It was that impressive.

    The arrival of Gravity Kills was the high point of alt-rock in St Louis. The big discovery from KPNT-FM’s inaugural “Pointessential” local-music CD collections, Gravity Kills was supposed to declare the St Louis music scene, in the way that Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins turned their hometowns into musical meccas. (I thought GK could have done it, too, when I first heard them.) In the end, Wilco was the most famous band on that CD, Nelly put St Louis on the map, and Gravity Kills is…? (Still dig GK’s first album, though.)

    Anybody got bands that got their shot at the big time with a hometown radio push? Did it work?
