    This is on at least 4 radio stations every weekend in the NY area, it's certainly not forgotten!

    I'll raise you a gem by The Outfield that actually is forgotten. The song and the video are strange and excellent.

    This song is a whole lot better than the one they are mostly known for.

    That's from their album Land.
    After they signed to Arista, they had to "pop" their sound up.
    Not a bad album, but their first three on Polydor are among the best.
    Waiting For A Miracle, Sleep No More and Fiction.

    If you prefer the lighter sound of this one, you may also like the more refined Chasing Shadows, which has some of their strongest songs, yet with a mainstream sensibility.
    Reminds me of The Blue Nile

    The Lonesome Strangers' second album from 1989. They were part of the California scene alongside Los Lobos, X and The Blasters.

    I thought UDS was gonna be the next big thing in the early 90s. I love the UDS sound. What ever happened to those guys?

    On any given day of the week I would rather listen to Urban Dance Squad, compared to, like, Nirvana or something. That's where the sound went in the 90s, to the Nirvana thing. I don't have anything against Nirvana, but I wish the UDS sound had taken over, and not the other thing. IMHO

    Grunge hype did last for only a short time.
    UDS had various radiohits in early 90s but were overshadowed by RATM after "Killing in the name".

    Rudeboy had a couple of succesful radiosingles with Junkie XL afterwards.

    As I remember the 90s... charts were full of eurodance ... except from a handful singles by rhcp, guns n roses, soundgarden, nirvana, pearl jam, pj harvey, soul asylum, dEUS & björk. Far from domination.

    The underground/clubscene was all about house, techno, trance during 90s and .... nu-disco progressive by the end of the decade.
