There's so much awesome stuff out there that falls under this banner. The more I dig, the more gold I remember/find. Sometimes it's an unjustly-forgotten single by an act that otherwise hit it big:
And sometimes it's a rad song by an act that, alas, never really entered the public consciousness:
Bring it, y'all.

This thread was (partially) prompted by finding a recorded-from-the-radio mixtape I made in 7th grade (1989, natch) and spiraling out of control in trying to track down all of the stuff I listened to back then. Such as this one (from that tape):
Radiorama - "Daddy, Daddy"
I get the impression this one never got much stateside play outside of Florida, but maybe I'm wrong?

The idea here is less about singles forgotten by you guys (as if the ILM hivemind would ever let a song fall through the cracks of history) and more about singles that had a brief moment of popularity but never really became latter-day radio staples or overused in commercials/movies or whatever. I'm way familiar with a lot of this stuff, but only because I've made the effort to remain familiar with it.

I thought it was!
I didn't post it yet and I'm kinda youtubed out, but I hope no-one's forgotten When I See You Smile by Bad English. I think it's still one of those ballads that always ends up on a compilation every few years...I am not ashamed to say that I love love love it.If only because Jon Waite had that not-so-hot-dude with hot-sounding-singing-voice thing going on.

I adore a couple of John Waite solo hits but Bad English is an excrescence. A relative bought me the tape of that first album in late '89. The only I can stand is the (forgotten!) second hit "Price of Love."

A top ten nineties song for me: a #2 hit I don't even hear on urban radio anymore.

I don't know how I managed to completely forget this song's existence and yet still recall every note and word upon hearing it.
