A thread for analysing and discussing bands/artists of which we personally think should have been much more successful than they were. While there are many bands who would be great examples for this thread, i'm going to stick with three bands for now:
It's a shame that "Life in a Northern Town" proved to be the only noteworthy hit for Dream Academy. While the English band did have a minor hit in the form of "The Love Parade" in 1986, they were never able to replicate the success they had with the former.
This song (and band) would have to be one of the most underrated of the '90s; "Hieronymous" by a little-known Australian band, called The Clouds. This song was only a minor hit here. It peaked at #46 in September 1991 and only stayed in the charts for two weeks. It's a shame, because this song and band should have been huge. If this had of been released by a US band, it probably would have been a massive hit. The Clouds had three other singles which peaked within the ARIA Top-50 in 1991/92, but they soon vanished after that.
This song (and band) deserved to achieve more success than it did. It was probably released a bit too early, as alternative rock had yet to break into the mainstream when this was released in Late 1990. However, with that said, it did manage to reach #1 on the Australian charts in Early 1991 and the band also had two other hits; "Don't Go Now" and "Baby, Baby". After the success of the three songs and the EP, however, the band had completely disappeared from the mainstream and they were never able to release another Top-50 single. If this had of been released two or three years later, it quite possibly could have achieved international success as well.
