Forgotten Classic #5: Buckcherry "For the Movies"

I really thought Buckcherry was going to be some kind of new Aerosmith...a band that rocks hard but also has a sensitive side. "For the Movies" tries to combine both parts I believe and they do it pretty well...

Here is the video starring Tara Reid:

From their self-titled debut.

Forgotten Classic #4: Edwyn Collins "Girl Like You"

Thanks to the Empire Records soundtrack and some heavy airplay for the video, "Girl Like You" was one of the great songs of the Summer of 1995. Oh to be 16 again!

I am happy to write that Edwyn Collins is recovering from the stroke he suffered in 2005. Last September he released a new album Home Again [currently available as an import in the US] and received some good reviews.

Forgotten Classic #3: The Flys "Got You (Where I Want You)"

Who can forget the movie Disturbing Behavior? After all it does have the future Mrs. Tom Cruise and that guy who played Cyclops in the X-men movies in it...

More importantly, who can forget the best song on the soundtrack to Disturbing Behavior, The Flys' great "Got You (Where I Want You)?"

The Flys -- Got You (Where I Want You)

It seems that all three of The Flys CDs are out of print...you can buy all three used on Amazon for a total of $4.45 plus shipping...

Forgotten Classic #2: Big Wreck -- "The Oaf"

Tracking my downloads, I was suprised how popular the first instalment of "Forgotten Classic" was/has been and so I was looking for inspiration for another one this week...The Discount Bin at Half Price Books must have had me in mind as I was looking through it this weekend...how could I have forgotten about Big Wreck and their outstanding "The Oaf"?

Big Wreck -- The Oaf

Although the band broke up in 2002, and their two albums are currently not in print in the United States, keep the lead singers ASCAP checks flowing by buying this.

Forgotten Classic #1: Marvelous 3 -- Freak of the Week

A song with only one equal, Dexter Freebish's "Leaving Town"
