The Gin Blossoms were fantastic. I think their former lead singer/songwriter died, and that's why they haven't really come out with any new stuff in the last ten years or so. |
he was an alcoholic, they kicked him out of the band, and he later committed suicide |

why, they were huge...and they don't get much radio play if any. Infact most people under the age of 25 (atleast that i have talked to) couldn't name 5 of their songs
maybe things are different where you live sorry
being lost to time wouldn't aply to any of the bands mentioned if you only talk about the people who listened to them and still listen to them, i'm talking about mainstream radioplay and discussion
of course bands like pink floyd and the police will never truley be forgotten by people knowledgable about music, and where current music came from. |
They're still massively popular with everyone over 25, and their stuff gets hammered by music channels and retro radio (Pink Floyd excepted, because they didn't really do singles). |

Pink Floyd's The Wall has sold over 20 million copies in your country alone. That's about 1 in every 10 people who own a copy. In your street alone chances are two or three people own it. |
