The Donnas had a couple more hits in Australia and I'm pretty sure they were a really big deal in Japan for a while. Their drummer had to retire due to a back injury. They tried to continue with a new drummer but I think it probably just wasn't the same for the rest of them. They'd been playing together with that original line up since high school so it would have been strange replacing a core member of the band.

[@lacritzer3070]

Drowning Pool contributed “Break You” to the Scorpion King soundtrack, which is a good song with a lot more lyrical and vocal content... honestly, they probably would’ve been a fairly successful band if the original vocalist hadn’t passed away so suddenly, Sinner was a fairly solid album for its time and place

Not a knock at you at all, just a thought I had at the mention of The Donnas: it seems like every once in a while, another girl group will come around that rock critics will say "finally proves" that "girls can rock too". The Runaways, Heart, and The Donnas. Here's a crazy idea: girls have always been able to rock just as much as the guys, and it's all y'alls misogyny that prevents you from seeing an all-girl band as legit. Like, I have seen way too many dude rock fans brag about how they don't listen to any girl band, including a band with a girl frontwoman and all dudes behind her.

When comparing rock one hit wonders of the 90's to those of the 2000's, one can't help but notice a huge difference, which is indicative of the general shift that was happening in mainstream rock around that time. While 90's rock one hit wonders are all over the place and often come from weird or even kinda fringe bands, 2000's rock one hit wonders are more often than not associated with a certain format and sound way more formulaic and disposable, with only a few quirkier tunes here and there.

One of the cooler and often forgotten one hit wonder suggestions of the 2000's (at least to me) is "Beat the World" by Pressure 4-5. The whole album "Burning the Process" (signed to Dreamworks of all labels) was an excellent attempt to replicate that 90's helmet sound and expand upon it. "Beat the World" is an even better standout that actually charted at #39 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Charts. They unfortunately broke up 2 years after that record, mostly due to 9/11 slowing their momentum while touring and the label financially screwing them over. seriously, if you get the chance, check out both the album at this particular single.

I read a comment on Reddit where someone mentioned they were at Honda Civic Tour of 2008 where Phantom Planet played by 2nd song people yelled "Play California or get off the stage"

When i was a teen i used to like "Story Of A Girl" , "Right Now" when i was like 10 or 11yo, "California" when i was like 11, "Bodies" still is in my workout playlist, i think i remember the OPM one but don't remember if i like it. LOL

I think part of why bodies is so known still is since it was one of the few metal songs KZbin used to offer to replace audio when a video got muted back in the day ... I remember clicking on hundreds of videos that just started playing bodies since the video proper was muted
