Post the tracks that you think most people will have totally forgotten about. They can be awful or amazing from any time span. Here are a few to start with.
Using some Suzanne Vega and small parts of Color Me Badd, T-Spoon's 'Tom's Party'

Those Two Girls 'All I Want'. Inoffensive, by the numbers pop.

A funky lowly top forty hit from Stereopol 'Dancin' Tonight'. This should have done much better

If you like Deep Forest and Enigma, then try this from Sacred Spirit. Again, 'Yeha Noha' should have been a much bigger hit

Spacehog 'In The Meantime'-catchy indie gem

Following up 'I Wish', the slick and summery 'Top Of The Stairs'

Q 'Get Here'. So obscure, only the extended mix is posted. Sounding like a mix of KWS and Sybil.

The kind of track you can imagine hearing in Topman. Polyphonic Spree 'Light and Day'

Joan Osborne's followup to 'One Of Us' is less memorable. in 'St Teresa' she sounds ever so slightly drunk. The video has a great shot of her cleaning a toilet.

Sounds like it wants to be 'Insanity' in parts. Oceanic's piano driven, raspy other hit.

Girls@Play 'Airhead'. It isn't all that bad, but sounds like two or even three different tracks. Some decent enough hooks, dubious wardrobe arrangement and very short-lived pop career.

1300 Drums 'Ooh! Aah! Cantona!' As a house track it is fine, as soon as the football sample comes in, it does not work.

The delightful Beverley Craven with a haunting and much underrated track, 'Love Scenes'.

Tatjana's 'Santa Maria' should have been a massive hit record. Maybe all the advertising budget went on the video...

Tatjana's 'Santa Maria' should have been a massive hit record. Maybe all the advertising budget went on the video... Very famous story this. 'Santa Maria' was all set to become one of the smash hit singles of the summer, plenty of pre-promotion which had even included Tatjana being groped by Eamonn Holmes on GWTV. The record was set for a Top 20 placing according to the midweek charts in the week of release. On the Friday a series of suspicious looking bulk sales triggered alarms at Millward Brown and so to protect the integrity of the chart the sales of the record were discounted totally. Mike Stock, who was behind the British release of the single, went absolutely apeshit as all the effort that had gone into the record had been wasted, not to mention the several thousand sales of the single that would count for nothing. A subsequent investigation showed that there had been an attempt to 'buy-in' the single but it had been nothing to do with the record company or anyone associated with it - hence the single was cleared for a re-release whereupon it stuttered into the bottom end of the Top 40 and then sank, a waste of a rather fabulous single.

Great story thanks for posting, what a shame There was also a version by DJ Milano ft Samantha Fox in 1998 which made the Top 40.
