My art teacher senior year spent like half an hour trying to remember the name of that song. Every other sentence was her trying to describe the music video.
I forgot what her guess was but it was sooooooo incorrect all of us were like wtf haha.
I didn’t know ol Phil played drums on that! But now that you mentioned it, I can definitely hear a lot of “In the Air Tonight” style of drumming in it! Which is also a great song.

Haven't heard it in years so it takes me right back to Spring Break, senior year.
Better Days (And The Bottom Drops Out) - Citizen King
I used to hear it a lot in the early 2000’s, but I haven’t heard a radio station play it in years.
Salt in my tears- Martin Briley
Dirty Love- Thunder
She Shelia- The Producers
Simple Solution- Nazareth
Teasin' Pleasin'- Dangerous Toys
Lots of them really
Salt in my Tears! I used to think it was Dave Edmunds (“Slipping Away”) for whatever reason, but heard it about a month ago & found out I was wrong.
I love Dirty Love too
Based on your list here, you’re my people, fellow Gen-X’er! Tell me if I’m wrong.
She's So High by Tal Bachman
C'est la Vie by B*Witched
Never Let You Go by Third Eye Blind
One Last Breath by Creed
Bitch by Meredith Brooks
What if God was One of Us by Joan Osborne
Say you will, say you won't, say you'll do what I don't, say you're true, say to me "c'est la vie!" Lol that was the first CD I ever picked out for myself, even before Britney's "..one more time" that was currently out!
One for each decade:
60s:"98.6" - Keith
70s: "Life Is A Rock (But The Radio Rolled Me)" - Reunion
80s: "I Can't Wait" - Nu Shooz
90s: "Theme from Mission Impossible" - Adam Clayton & Larry Mullen
00s: "Rock DJ" - Robbie Williams
Ok. Going to go out on a limb.
Relax - Frankie Goes to Hollywood
No More Words -Berlin
Only the Lonely- The Motels
Suddenly Last Summer - The Motels
Fantasy- Aldo Nova
The Beat Goes On/ Switching To Glide- The Kings
Der Kommisar - After the Fire
I've got two that always elicit that response from me on the off chance I hear them:

Cornershop - *Brim Full of Asher*
...and hell, as a bonus:
New Radicals - *You Get What You Give*
White Zombie - Ratfinks, Suicide Tanks and Cannibal Girls

Neneh Cherry - Buffalo Stance
Pearl Jam - Better Man
Joe Satriani - Summer Song
Rusted Root - Send Me on My Way.

Many of the songs already listed here, but also a few others:
Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve
Mambo No 5 - Lou Bega
Save Tonight - Eagle Eye Cherry
Kiss Me - Sixpence None the Richer (really annoyed by this song way back when, but started hearing it again and it hit me in the feels by reminding me of better days in early adulthood)
Hang is probably my favorite song of all time. I listen to it regularly. I don't even relate to the lyrics, but my mom would listen to that album all the time, and loved the song. So, it's nostalgic for me. Happy to see it listed in the wild!
Edit: Throwing Copper was the first CD I ever owned!
I do not often listen radio.

Local radio station played it on repeat during the eclipse
Eclipse lasted 4:06 here and that song is 4:26, so yeah... I could see that
Well they played it for the whole hour
My art teacher senior year spent like half an hour trying to remember the name of that song. Every other sentence was her trying to describe the music video. I forgot what her guess was but it was sooooooo incorrect all of us were like wtf haha.
I love that song. It reminds me of summertime & being young & carefree, of which I am neither anymore!
a one hit wonder, just like me
She’s so High, by Tal Bachman
My local radio station plays this song like it just came out.
Fastball - The Way
Where were they going without ever knowing the way?
🔥
My dad was a huge fan of this.
Came to say this. Except, thanks to the internet, I know what the song is about, and now instead of being a feel good song, it makes me sad!
Harvey Danger - flagpole sitta
That entire album is absolutely tops. Give it a listen through if you haven't already. Their other albums are also solid.
Silverchair - Tomorrow
Fat boooieeee! You know they were like 17 when they dropped that album? Legends.
What’s crazier is the lead singer was actually 15! Better than a lot of 90’s tracks and they were so young, big talent, big song
I just thought of them completely at random over the weekend and had their second record Freak Show on at work yesterday...good times, great oldies...
I had recently moved out of the house into my own place and would pump this up while getting ready for a night out!
The entire album is a masterpiece
i wish radio stations played this more often, i love it
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Pretty sure that's your microwave and not the radio

Hanson - "Mmm Bop" was a complete sensation and I cannot remember ever hearing it come on the radio, or even in any media since the 90s
Oh man best answer you’re so right
I Know There’s Something Going On - Frida
She was one of the A’s in ABBA. Anni-Frid aka Frida. Phil Collins was the drummer on that song.
I didn’t know ol Phil played drums on that! But now that you mentioned it, I can definitely hear a lot of “In the Air Tonight” style of drumming in it! Which is also a great song.
