Ok I remember these two getting airplay and nowadays only a couple of friends remember them. I don't consider them memorable but they probably were to a grade if you're into christian rock (one is about keeping your virginity and the other about the story of Noah.

kind of hard for me to believe that #8 "The Fix (remix)" is real even though it shows every indication of being an actual video that was played on MTV2

Stroke 9 - "Letters." Followup to the unexpected success of the re-release of four-year-old track "Little Black Backpack." A Modern Rock #27 "hit"; pretty sure I haven't heard it since a week or two in early 2000. You're leaving me here. Dear. Alone with all your lettERS.

I've never heard that song before, but I am aware of Stroke 9 through their song "Kick Some Ass", which I've often thought of it as one of the last songs of the "90s" since I only saw the video for it once and that was on like September 9, 2001.

Squirrel Nut Zippers - "Put A Lid On It," the followup to the unlikely success of "Hell." I also feel like I heard "The Suits Are Picking Up The Bill" (the go-nowhere lead single from the next album) but listening to it, it seems like there's no way this ever got on the radio -- maybe on a station promo compilation or something.

The Urge - Jump Right In (1998). Featuring Nick Hexum of 311, who clearly shot all his scenes separately and is thus spared from having to perform fifteen feet in the air on a wobbling pole. So many questions about this video - why the bleak, washed-out color for this mood-boosting ska song? Why Chinatown? Why the Hare Krishnas?

I had totally missed these guys the first time around but they still have some kind of beloved institution status here in St. Louis; singer is some kind of local sausage magnate now?
― bentelec, Sunday, 5 July 2015 20:49 (nine years ago) link
I hope they have local TV ads urging people to jump right in... to a double-dog combo!

Oh man, "Jump Right In"...I saw The Urge on my first Warped Tour in '98. They were on the main stage in a mid-size arena with a shitty PA. But half the floor was a mosh pit (easily the biggest I'd seen at that point), and when "Jump Right In" started it was like getting permission to tear shit up.
I always liked how they worked the band name into the lyrics ("Fought the urge to do it..."). Imagine there was a lot of high-fiving in the studio that day.

Wow. Really struggling to say whether I've ever heard this before. Even more grating than I remember most of this era of post-grunge being. Guy's vocal delivery should have been saved in a time capsule, along with basically everything about the video.

ha sorry, that came out weird but basically i've been thinking about launching the 'sequel' but wondering if the time was ripe in terms of enough 'distance' from the early 2000s. but i just checked and i started this thread barely seven years out from the late 90s. so...yeah.

Vertical Horizon - We Are (1999). First single off the album that subsequently yielded the lousy mega-hit "Everything You Want" and the less-remembered "You're A God." The video somewhat implausibly features a live crowd being super-hyped about seeing Vertical Horizon, but YMMV. Popped into my head just now for reasons I cannot explain.

"Millennium," and some other Williams tracks, got quite a bit of play here in Canada, both on radio and on Much Music, but it always felt like an attempt to make Robbie Williams happen in North America far more than actual demand. His albums pretty much collected dust at the record store I worked at during that time.
