My pick for This Week's Lost 90s Classic is by Lenny Kravitz. Lenny had 3 Top 10 songs and 10 Top 40 hits on the Radio & Records chart while only have one Top 10 song and 5 Top 40 hits on Billboard. This song just missed Radio & Records' Top 40 by peaking at #41, and on the 5/11/96 Hot 100, this song was peaking at #62. From his "Circus" CD, here is Lenny Kravitz with "Can't Get You Off Of My Mind":

My pick for This Week's Lost 90s Classic is by Bonnie Raitt. Her 10th album finally produced her first Hot 100 hit, "Have A Heart" which peaked at #49. Her second song to hit the Hot 100 debuted on the 5/19/90 chart at #94. It would peak just two notches higher the next week. Amazingly, the album this song is from first charted on the Billboard Hot 200 Album chart on 4/15/89 but it would eventually hit #1. From the album "Nick Of Time", here is the title track:

I swear when I checked UMD Music's website, "Have A Heart" appeared on top without the two hits you mentioned. I just checked it again... and you are correct. All I can say is... OOPS! I'll try to be more accurate next week... and thanks for correcting me!

My pick for This Week's Lost 90s Classic is from Blur. This song was zooming up 8 notches to #7 on the 5/31/97 Modern Rock Tracks chart yet it never hit Billboard's Hot 100 nor Radio & Records Top 50... pretty amazing for a song that one website selected as the #16 Greatest Stadium Anthem of All Time. Here is Blur with "Song 2": Link to Greatest Stadium Anthems article: www.complex.com/sports/2013/10/greatest-stadium-anthems-all-time/

My pick for This Week's Lost 90s Classic is by Nine Inch Nails. This song spent 22 weeks on Billboard's Hot 100 but fell just shy of hitting the Top 40 by peaking at #41. On the 6/18/94 Hot 100, this song was at #83. Here is the single edit (the regular version is NSFW) of "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails:

My pick for This Week's Lost 90s Classic comes from the Seattle-based band Harvey Danger. The group never achieved any Billboard Hot 100 hits or Radio & Records Top 50 fame but this hit was a favorite on many rock stations. On the 6/27/98 Top Modern Rock Tracks chart, this song was at #5 on its way up to a #4 peak. Sadly, the bassist from this group, Aaron Huffman, passed away in March of this year from respiratory failure at the age of 43. Here is Harvey Danger with "Flagpole Sitta": Official music video with okay music quality here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYsMjEeEg4g

80sat40fan, Harvey Danger did hit R&R with this song (the R&R chart site has them listed under "D" for Danger, even though Harvey Danger is a group name). The song peaked at #31.

^^ jlthorpe... As Missouri's former governor John Ashcroft used to say when he made a mistake, "Dad gum it!" It's not often the Radio & Records chart archives has an error but you are right. So you know what this means... BONUS PICK!
I'll stay with the same year and even the same chart and even the same state that was just mentioned above by selecting a song by the St. Louis band The Urge. The Urge combined alternative rock with reggae and ska. This hit was at #12 on the 6/27/98 Top Modern Rock Tracks chart on its way to a #10 peak. This song was played non-stop on KPNT/105.7 St. Louis and KNSX/93.3 Steeleville which are two of the stations I was listening to when I was living in STL. Here's The Urge with "Jump Right In":

My pick for This Week's Lost 90s Classic is from the Scottish band The Trash Can Sinatras, now known as Trashcan Sinatras. They had three songs hit the Top Modern Rock Tracks chart between 1990 and 1993, and this was the last of those songs, peaking at #11 on the 7/3/93 Top Modern Rock Tracks chart. If you are a "Beavis & Butthead" fan, this video was featured in one of their shows. Here are The Trash Can Sinatras with "Hayfever":
EDIT... SPECIAL BONUS! Right after I posted the video above, I found the "Beavis & Butthead" clip mocking this video! Check it out here:

My pick for This Week's Lost 90s Classic is from Peabo Bryson. This song was moving up 13 notches to #76 on the 7/6/91 Hot 100. While it would only peak at #52 on the Pop chart during its 15 week run, it hit #1 on the R&B/Hip Hop chart and #11 on the Adult Contemporary chart. It's time to get into 'Quiet Storm' mode with Peabo Bryson and his song, "Can You Stop The Rain":

My pick for This Week's Lost 90s Classic comes from Crash Test Dummies. This was the third single released from the album "God Shuffled His Feet", and on the 7/16/94 Hot 100, this song zoomed up 15 notches to #74 but would peak just 8 notches higher at #66. The lyrics of the song are based on the T.S. Eliot poem, "The Love Song Of J. Alfred Prufrock." Here is "Afternoons and Coffeesthingys" by Crash Test Dummies: Link to official music video with mediocre video and audio quality: www.youtube.com/watch?v=j53VGZnW4fU EDIT: "Afternoons and Coffeesthingys"?!?!?! Gotta love the censoring on this site ! The song title is correct on the screen capture above.

My pick for This Week's Lost 90s Classic is from Tonic. Tonic's biggest hit was, "If You Could Only See" which peaked at #10 in 1997 on Radio & Records. This week's pick was moving up 6 notches to #17 on the 7/24/99 Modern Rock Tracks Chart but would need another 6 weeks to reach its #10 peak. While this song didn't hit the Hot 100, it peaked at #49 on Radio & Records. From the movie, "American Pie", here's Tonic with "You Wanted More":
