And you all of course recall, if not own, the Rhino 70s, 80s and 90s Poptopia CD set.
It was great, but I don't recall it lighting a fire under any radio programmers.
Or did it? Can't remember if it made any type of splash.

As far as commercial success goes, let's not forget there was a sort of Audities-type pop revival in the late 90s.? Bands such as Fastball ("The Way", "Fire Escape"), Semisonic ("Closing Time") and Ben Folds Five ("Brick") were all over the radio back then (the last time I really listened to radio before the internet took its place as to where I made my musical discoveries) and had quite a bit of commercial success. And if you wanted to, you could count The Wallflowers in there as well - they were bigger than all of them.? Alas, it didn't last very long.
