Not true, people WAY over-state Maynard's involvement with the band. Maynard played a VERY minor role on a couple songs of theirs in the 90s, but they had been going since the '81. He was only doing some brief and sparse appearances and definitely was NOT a member of their original lineup or even a full-fledged member of the band by any means.

From an American standpoint, The Verve are severely underrated. That whole album Urban Hymns is a masterpiece. “Bittersweet Symphony” isn’t even the greatest song on that album yet I still love that song. Don’t get me wrong.

"Cannonball" is another great song, in addition to "In The Meantime," that most people know but to which very few know the title. It's made me wish I had an app on my phone that I could ask, "Hey, what's the song that goes 'bow-oo-wow-ah, bow-oo-wow-ah, bow-oo-wow-ah, bow-oo-wow-ah . . .?"

[@Coyotek4]

There's room for a 3rd. Here are some suggestions: Fastball: "The Way" Semisonic: "Closing Time" Refreshments: "Banditos" Verve Pipe: "The Freshman" (I know they had more, but this really was their 'one hit'.) Here's the most obscure hit I own: Oleander: "Why I'm Here"

Out of My Head by Fastball was big too.

[@ospero7681]

Fastball are a really interesting case. They had one top 20 hit in the US. It was "Out of My Head". "The Way" didn't even make the Hot 100. Another victim of the airplay vs. record sales dichotomy of the late 90's.

[@leviathan_is_me]

Was gonna say Fastball in no way was 1 hit with "The Way". "Outta My Head" maybe. I liked "Fire Escape" as well, that song is the 90's in that first riff 100%. You hear that opening guitar and instantly know it was 1990's.

They aren’t technically touted as a one hit wonder, due to being highly successful in their home country of Australia, but “I Touch Myself” by Divinyls charted highly in the Billboard charts at #4 in 1991 despite the band doing a number of gigs in the United States in the eighties as well as making an appearance at the 1983 US Festival. Despite having a huge number of hits in Australia in the eighties such as “Boys in Town,” “Science Fiction,” “Pleasure and Pain,” “Back to the Wall” and my favourite “Sleeping Beauty.” “I Touch Myself” was their only huge hit in the United States even gaining controversy with its release in 1991 with various radio stations refusing to play the track due to it being a Frank reference to female masturbation. In 2014, the song became a breast cancer awareness anthem, a year after the death of Divinyls vocalist Christina “Chrissy” Amphlett at age 57 after a three year battle with breast cancer, mind you she had been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis since the late nineties. The song had been sung by various female figures in Breast Cancer Awareness PSA’s such as Serena Williams.

Queensrhyche isn’t really alternative. They were kind of progmetal and in my opinion closer to glam rock than modern rock. Calling the Meat Puppets(who were a popular band before that song) a one hit wonder hurts a little. Monster Magnet had Negasonic Teenage Wathead too. That’s the better song!!!

Mad Season also had another hit song with "I Don't Know Anything," The Verve Pipe and Meat Puppets both had a handful of hit songs each and Queensryche? They had like a dozen. Definitely not one-hit wonder bands...

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

I agree that these are great songs. Don't know if they all qualify

[@dudleydawson4617]

Nada Surf. Popular

[@jlove8892]

Backwater is a bada$$ song

[@kylereece1979]

I love videos like this,as it offers a slightly different perspective on some bands that were'nt one hit wonders elsewhere. The Verve were massive in Europe and the UK throughout the late 90s. Already doing well in the indie circuit in the mid 90s, that "Urban Hyms" album yielded other massive songs elsewhere. They had a more introspective, broodier take on Britpop but had that Oasis swagger in tracks aswell. Interesting that following Bittersweet Sympathy, they did'nt continue the success in the US. On the other hand, most of the US, Canadian bands seen here barley made a dent across the Atlantic. Crash test Dummies and Deep Blue Something yes briefly, but Seven Mary 3 and Spagehog , not so much at all. Great video. 😃👍

[@hauntedfields4919]

Vertical Horizon and their song "Everything You Want". Yes, the got some airplay with other songs off that album, but nothing was a big as that song.

[@Cool70sfreak]

I don't think Vertical Horizon really counts, since "You're A God" hit 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 and 12 on Adult Alternative, so it was, by every metric, a hit.

[@loupyrock]

As a Brit, I completely agree that the verve are a one hit wonder. Yes I can probably name a few more songs but that is the only one people know and care about

[@mmsiphonevinyls1027]

In the UK its their signature song for sure, gets played more than all their other work put together. But you do still hear things like Sonnet, Lucky Man and The Drugs Don’t Work now and again.

[@epicjake354]

Oasis is my favorite band, but if the Verve had lasted longer I think they could have been more acclaimed than them or even Radiohead. Sonnet and The Drugs Don’t Work are some of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard in my life.

[@kellywelch641]

Good stuff brother..... I grew up n the 90’s, it was an awesome time🤘🏻

[@filleirlandaise]

A song I loved back the in 90s but don't see mentioned very often--"Girlfriend" by Matthew Sweet.

[@The_Keh27]

I mostly remember the anime music video, back before anime was big in the west

[@adamjenks9613]

I remember Girlfriend fondly. Loved the song when I was in high school.

[@joemiller7082]

I think Sick of Myself was the bigger hit of his.

[@Skinsfan597]

Sick of myself was a bigger hit on the alternative charts.

[@bryanelam7431]

All the memories these songs make me remember that I had forgotten, wow!!!

[@annegrey3780]

Weird fact in Canada the Crash Test Dummy's big hit wasn't Mmmmm, that was their big hit internationally, but in Canada their biggest hit is Superman's Song. So not only are the Crash Test Dummies in the League of One Hit Wonders Who Had More Hits At Home, but in their home their big hit is different song.

[@joemiller7082]

The song God Shuffled His Feet seemed pretty successful to me too.

[@gemfyre855]

It's always so weird to be reminded that You Get What You Give was released in the 90s. I still vividly remember first hearing it on a car ad, and it feels like yesterday.

[@mtjm]

Brother Cane - and fools shine on Dovetail Joint - level on the inside

[@jkrissyla]

Dovetail Joint!!!

[@joemiller7082]

Got No Shame was a bigger hit for Brother Cane.

[@mtjm]

I stand corrected! Just listened to got no shame and I do remeber hearing that one on the radio

[@krisherdown]

Shortly after "Cumbersome" arrived to mainstream music, "My Own Prison" popped up. Both deep distinctive voices doing crossover rock. One is fondly remembered despite being a one-hit wonder. The other... well, I still am a fan of that song even if other songs lead to less fond memories involving yelling SEEEEXX! Your love of Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too will always make me smile. My shuffle led me to hear "Mother we just can't get enough" this morning.

[@UltimateGamerCC]

i was gonna say the Cumbersome SOUNDS like it was sung by Creed, the vocalists really sound alike, at least on that track.

[@jasong8085]

I hear cumbersome every other day on the radio. It will never die

[@whipshinedetailing]

Got You Where I Want You is one of my top 5 90s songs for sure. Great jam.

[@powerviolentnightmare5026]

Jesus Jones, the lost brother of Jupiter Jones.

[@kagaminate2923]

D-did you just...

[@powerviolentnightmare5026]

I guess ???

[@orcatwar9810]

And there dad is mr jones

[@Brad772006]

Osmosis Jones is their uncle.

[@koalassuck6450]

I Subscribed and hit the the bell. First time seeing this channel. As a metal head in the 90's...I have to disagree with you on " Breakfast at Tiffany's". Infectious song, Great riff, perfect drums and excellent vocals. Love it to this day after 27 years. I'll tune in...thanks

[@ChucksterOLove]

Eagle Eye Cherry, who made the one hit wonder 'Save Tonight', is actually the brother of Neneh Cherry, who wrote 'Buffalo Stance', another great one hit wonder... 😉👍

[@andrewbloom7637]

Actually, he's her HALF-brother.

[@FatherStack]

Get What You Give is one of my favourite one hit wonders. It just reminds me of growing up in the 90's. It's awesome!

[@StealthMaster86]

Three Little Pigs is awesome and the music video is amazing.

[@UltimateGamerCC]

90's claymation cheese, and that's not being insulting. XD

[@robertparker6280]

I saw this guy sing Three Little Pigs at a karaoke night, and he rocked it!

[@DedSysOp]

In my head Dishwalla - Counting Blue Cars and Deep Blue Something - Breakfast at Tiffany's are interchangeable

[@ps-yk8su]

DBS lead singer sounds like the Friends' theme singer

[@jamesjamison9880]

??? What

[@jeremyfincham1422]

What I remember most about Bitter Sweet Symphony is it being played at the end of Cruel Intentions.

[@anabellamason9611]

The Cardigans “Lovefool”

[@jasong8085]

They had a 2nd hit tho. Losing my favorite game

[@ANRQAngel]

They also had a lot of success with their cover of crowded house's don't dream it's over

[@patricklauer4452]

And in the uk and Australia they had a cover of the talking heads song Burning Down The House with Tom Jones

[@ANRQAngel]

@@patricklauer4452 yes I remember that one..

[@alyzu4755]

I saw Jesus Jones in concert in '9, and they were amazing! "Doubt" is a great album. And yes, the 90's were weird, but I miss them. 😊

[@SteveElOtaku]

Green Jelly should also be noted for the criminally underrated "Carnage Rules" off their album 333 which was a tie-in into the comic and video game Spider-Man and Venom: Maximum Carnage.

[@jasonjtd79dunne88]

Loved playing that game and it was the FIRST actual song licensed for a video game

[@widdershins5383]

Fucking love that album

[@SCWKorsgaard]

Always good to see more hype for the New Radicals

[@EastyyBlogspot]

"You got what you give" is Summer...in audio form to me

[@ericajaye666]

I love every song on this list. So nostalgic for me.

[@eddiedingle767]

Days of the New "Touch, Peel, Stand"

[@desireedecerio7790]

Absolutely

[@inrainbows1829]

My band used to cover Breakfast at Tiffany's but put a punk rock spin on it. Speed it up and used power chords and distortion. As far as covers we did I this was one of the cooler sounding
