This week's Lost 90s Classic is a song which The Black Crowes were hoping would bring them their third consecutive Top 40 hit after "She Talks To To Angels" and "Hard To Handle". On the 6/20/92 Hot 100, the song moved up 9 notches to #61 but would peak at #48. This song spent a phenomenal 11 weeks at #1 on the Album Rock Tracks chart. Here are The Black Crowes with "Remedy":

With my pick for this week's Lost 90s Classic, I bet at least one member will petition Proboards to add a thumbs down or dislike button! In late 1992, a 4 1/2 year-old named Jordy Lemoine spent 15 weeks at the top of France's music chart with "Dur Dur D'Etre Bebe!" The single was re-titled "Dur Dur D'Etre Bebe! (It's Tough To Be A Baby)" for American release, and on the 6/26/93 Hot 100, the song moved up 7 notches to #75 and would eventually peak at #58. While he didn't have the same success here as he did in France, he was the youngest singer to chart on the Hot 100. You will find this song either incredibly annoying or very catchy. Here is Jordy's hit:

My pick for this week's Lost 90s Classic is from the Smashing Pumpkins. They just missed the Top 10 in 1996 with "1979". This was their first release off of their album "Adore". It debuted on the 7/4/98 Hot 100 way up at #42... and that's where it would peak even though it spent 20 weeks on the Hot 100. Here are the Smashing Pumpkins with "Ava Adore":

My pick for this week's Lost 90s Classic was the fourth release from Don Henley's album, "The End Of The Innocence". His first three singles did pretty well with the title track peaking at #8 and the follow-ups, "The Last Worthless Evening" and "The Heart Of The Matter", both peaking at #21. This tune didn't do as well as it peaked at #48. The next release from TEOTI, "New York Minute", also peaked at #48. Here is "How Bad Do You Want It" which moved up 17 notches to #75 on the 7/14/90 Hot 100:

From this week in 1999, it's a song that peaked at #37 on Radio and Records but failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 or Bubbling Under charts. Here's "Someday We'll Know" by New Radicals.

It's a two-fer pick this week for my Lost 90s Classic as my main pick may not be considered a lost classic.
Blink 182 had big some hits on rock radio, and this release did very well by peaking at #3 on the Modern Rock Chart. This song debuted at #78 on the 7/17/99 Hot 100 and would only peak at #58 during a 20-week run on the charts. The song did peak at #24 on Radio & Records so while it would not count as a lost classic on the R&R chart, it does on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Here is Blink 182 with "What's My Age Again":
A true lost 90s classic from July of 1999 didn't even chart on the Hot 100, and this week, its album, "The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner", fell off the Billboard Hot 200 Album Chart after just 9 weeks. Ben Folds Five had a cult following of sorts until they broke through with the 1998 hit, "Brick" which hit #1 on the Radio & Records chart but never hit the Hot 100 chart! Here is the first release from TUBORM, "Army":

I used to worry about songs hitting Top 40 on R&R/Mediabase for the Lost 21st Century Classic thread, but then I decided to ignore that, because otherwise I wouldn't have half of the stuff I was posting. Good choice on the Ben Folds Five song, but according to the R&R charts website, their song "Brick" peaked at #14. It was also an airplay-only hit, which is why it didn't hit the Hot 100 (it peaked at #19 on that chart).

jlthorpe... you're right. I read the wrong column on that website. "Wks at Peak" was 1, and was too quick to post that it went to #1 when I should have looked two columns to the left.. the column labeled "Peak"... and saw that it peaked at #14. Thanks for the correction. For anyone else out there... here's a handy site for seeing where songs charted on Radio & Records: wweb.uta.edu/faculty/gghunt/charts/chart.html

My pick for this week's Lost 90s Classic is from a true one-hit wonder as her only Hot 100 hit was holding at #70 on the 7/26/97 Hot 100 chart on her way to a #63 peak. Abra Moore was briefly a member of the group Poi Dog Pondering before starting her solo career. This was the first song released from her second album. Here is "Four Leaf Clover":

My pick for this week's Lost 90s Classic comes from the group Filter. Their lone Top 40 hit, "Take A Picture", hit #12 on the Hot 100 and #1 on the Modern Rock chart in 1996. The song released prior to TAP entered the Hot 100 at #79 on 8/5/95 and would peak just three notches higher at #76. Here is "Hey Man Nice Shot":

Actually, Take a Picture charted in late 1999-early 2000.

Michael... You are right. "Take A Picture" charted for 4 weeks in late 1999, then re-entered the Hot 100 on 12/25/99, peaking at #12 in early 2000. As Casey would say, "Thanks for your letter, Michael. Now on with the countdown..."

My pick for this week's Lost 90s Classic comes from the Indigo Girls. With hits like "Closer to Fine", "Least Complicated" and this song, it's hard to believe they never hit the Top 40 but their highest peak was #52 with "Closer To Fine". This week's pick debuted on the 8/8/92 Hot 100 at #89, proceeded to drop to #100 the next week and then fell out of the Hot 100. Here are the Indigo Girls with "Galileo":

It's a double-pick for this week's Lost 90s Classic. On the 8/17/96 Hot 100, Republica moved up 3 notches to #96 on their way to a #56 peak. Some pro sports teams would use this song to get fans before and during their games. Here is Republica with "Ready To Go":
Because "Ready To Go" peaked at #36 on Radio & Records' Top 40, here's a second pick. Living in Detroit, we get to hear some songs from Canadian groups that most of America doesn't hear. One such group is Sloan. Their album, "One Chord To Another", debuted on the Canadian charts in the summer of 1996 and featured two songs which received lots of airplay in Canada... "The Good In Everyone" and this tune, "Everything You've Done Wrong":

For this week's Lost 90s Classic, we travel back to a time when some computers didn't have Windows installed on them, and the Windows 95 installation disc came with some other freebies like music videos. One of the songs featured on that disc debuted on the 8/20/94 Hot 100 at #87 and would peak at #60. This song also features a spoken section by Barry White. Here is Edie Brickell (Mrs. Paul Simon) with "Good Times":
