    Cool song (horrible quality on YouTube)....total different path, compared to their 70s work, but I love the 80s vibe :)

    A great song that I didn't know about until a few years ago.

    Here's an obscure one for ya'!

    Even in those early days of MTV, I only saw this one maybe 3 or 4 times!

    Fishbone wasn't a mainstream band, and this song wasn't a hit, but it was released as a single and it's certainly a gem. "Party At Ground Zero," from 1985 :cheers:

    It would depend on what your definition of forgotten includes. If it refers to this forum and it's members, no. To radio in the USA, yes.

    I need to check out their albums. I found a promo single for 89's Roadside Flowers last year I enjoyed.

    No, Steppin' Out still gets substantial airplay. Is She Really Going Out with Him isn't as much a recurrent, but it also gets play. These are assuredly not forgotten by any standard.
