"False" one hit wonders. Options

[viugiufgjhfhjfhg...]

Everybody has heard of bands/artists that come up with one big hit and then they seem to disappear. Some of those groups do in fact vanish, but some others just stay on the down low for whatever reasons and despite not being on the spot light they keep producing music.

I hate missing on original musical ideas that due to a continuous lack of commercial success do end up becoming unnoticed. So as an experiment of sorts, I have started this thread with the purpose of exchanging information about bands with CB members, so people can keep updated on the news about their favorite "underground" music projects, as well as meet people with similar tastes through the sharing of musical knowledge.

Myself, I would like to know what did happen to the band Fastball. They had a big hit in the late 90's with a song titled The way, which wasn't musically spectacular but it was a good pop song nonetheless.

^In Fall Out Boy's earlier CD (the blue one) they have a song thanking the guys from The Ataris. I think that they went to other bands. (I have their CD, it was before it's time.)

The only band that I can think about is one of my favourites right now, Blue October. They came out with a song called Hate Me. The song is pretty good, but mainstream seemed to like it. Now I don't hear a lot of their music on the radio which is depressing because every song I've ever heard by them is lyrically and musically brilliant and beautiful.
