Transcript
00:00Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the Top 10 Songs from Popular Bands You Forgot About.
00:18Number 10. Next Year. Foo Fighters.
00:30Next Year was released on the Foo Fighters album, There's Nothing Left to Lose. While the record was a commercial and critical success, this single did not receive much airplay beyond its initial release, despite also serving as the theme for an early 2000s TV series entitled Ed.
00:45Unlike many of their other efforts, this rock ballad has a much softer and intimate feel than the rest of the Foo Fighters catalog.
01:00The track features some underrated lyrics, conveying a meaningful message, delivered through Dave Grohl's signature voice.
01:08Even if it isn't full of their high-powered guitars, Next Year showcases the band under an entirely different light.
01:23Number 9. Anything She Does. Genesis.
01:30Genesis have gone through many incarnations in their storied tenure from progressive rock to 80s pop.
01:39With the album Invisible Touch, they arguably reached the peak of their mainstream appeal.
01:43The title song, and singles like Land of Confusion, made a splash on the charts, while Anything She Does was another piece from the record that didn't get the same recognition.
01:53I won't ever know, I'll ever get to know her. I'll be the cause of anything she does.
02:00It's not the most lyrically sophisticated story, but Phil Collins gives it his signature vocal performance.
02:05It's full of all the pristine production value that fans come to expect from Genesis.
02:10The video also has a cameo from British comedian Benny Hill for added effect.
02:13I've no fear, Scotland is here, security will not be laxative while I'm here, so I promise you that.
02:20Collins and the boys craft an enjoyable 80s release that fits especially well in their most accessible album.
02:26The Cars were a hugely popular new wave band, with hits ranging from Just What I Needed to My Best Friend's Girl.
02:49Here she comes again, when she's dancing beneath the starry sky.
02:56Embracing a new pop direction, their entertaining 80s output contains singles, such as the Since You're Gone from the album Shake It Up.
03:03You're so touchless, when it comes to tenderness.
03:10Singer and songwriter Rick Ocasek perfectly summarizes the feeling of heartbreak in this power ballad.
03:16While it might not be as huge as their other tracks, Since You're Gone deserves another listen for its beautiful words and engaging sound.
03:23Since you're gone
03:25Well, never feels today
03:28Since you're gone
03:30The universal story of Lost Love connects both rock and pop fans with its undeniable appeal.
03:36Number 7, Always, Blink-182
03:40I've been here before a few times
03:45Always is the fourth single off of Blink-182's fifth album.
03:49In contrast to previous releases like Take Off Your Pants and Jacket and Enema of the State, the song represents the album's more matured lyrics and intricate music choices.
03:59I'm sorry, I am, I'm trying
04:05Tom DeLonge's words tell the story of a relationship gone wrong, with a melancholic quality that shows their songwriting progress.
04:13Travis Barker's eclectic drumming and Mark Hoppus' bass lines help push it even further.
04:24On top of that, it also has a super cool video that elevates the music and its potential meaning.
04:30This effort and the entire self-titled album have lots of hidden gems worth exploring.
04:35Number 6, Shiver, Coldplay
04:47If you remember Coldplay's first album, Parachute, you'll probably think a lot about Yellow.
04:59Not many people remember that the lead single was Shiver.
05:01The band themselves noted at the time that it was an attempt at making a Jeff Buckley record.
05:14Thankfully for listeners, their homage to Buckley comes out especially well with his guitar arpeggios and intricate vocals.
05:22Chris Martin shows tremendous promise in this track, leading his group through a song that defies the usual pop conventions.
05:28Shiver has been eclipsed by their other hits, but it still contains the magic of Coldplay's early period.
05:39Number 5, Everywhere
05:41Fleetwood Mac
05:42Unless you're a devoted Fleetwood Mac fan, you might not recall this late 80s single.
05:52Everywhere comes from their 1987 album Tangle in the Night, which has its fair share of other hits like Little Lies.
05:58Another in a line of great pop songs, Christine McVie wrote this piece that made it to 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts.
06:13From the hypnotic intro to the pristine vocal harmonies, this track captures a high point for the group and their run during the 80s.
06:20Can you hear me calling out your name?
06:24You know that I'm falling and I don't know what to say.
06:28Often sidelined by her more prominent bandmates like Stevie Nicks, McVie proves once again that she should be as well known as her counterparts.
06:35Everywhere also represents one of the final master strokes of the band's last big decade.
06:40I, I, I wanna be with you everywhere
06:47I, I, I wanna be with you everywhere
06:55Number 4, Jenny was a friend of mine, The Killers
06:59The Killers came to fame with their hit debut album Hot Fuss.
07:11This song wasn't a big single, but it easily could have been with its amazing musical qualities.
07:16Combining 80s new wave influences, Jenny was a friend of mine has one of the best grooves of his era.
07:22The bass line by Mark Stomer stands out among several fantastic production elements to create a lively production.
07:28Tell me what you wanna know
07:32Oh, come on, oh, come on, oh, come on
07:35Brendan Flower's lyrics tell the dark and twisted story of a murder that gives the whole piece an intriguing angle for added replay value.
07:44Over the years, the track developed its own fanbase that loves it even more than their more culturally resonant material.
07:50Number 3, Lounge Act, Nirvana
08:01Nirvana's Nevermind will forever be one of the defining records of the 90s.
08:13Other fans might be listening to Smells Like Team Spirit, but Lounge Act has many thrills for both casual and hardcore fans to enjoy.
08:21Next to Kurt Cobain's nuanced lyrics, it has one of Chris Novoselic's best bass lines.
08:26The catchy song could have easily been a standout on any other rock band's album.
08:37The songwriter depicts his complicated relationship with raw emotion and authenticity, providing another memorable contribution to their biggest album.
08:45Nirvana proves that even their more obscure tracks have a distinct power to them.
08:50Number 2, Four Sticks, Led Zeppelin
09:02Led Zeppelin's fourth album might be one of their best, with a diverse lineup of iconic rockers.
09:14Everyone knows Stairway to Heaven, but not as many people remember the unique grooves of Four Sticks.
09:20With a Raga influence, this song has all the ingredients of a classic Zeppelin track.
09:31Next to John Bonham's great performance with four drumsticks, his bandmates bring their best talents to this dynamic and difficult recording.
09:50It's forgotten in some crowds because of its limited radio play and usage on tours, but it still packs a punch to this day.

10:19Number 1, Hey Bulldog, The Beatles
10:25The Beatles have so many memorable songs that many are bound to slip through the cracks.
10:35Hey Bulldog is one such track that was a single from their less remembered album Yellow Submarine.
10:40Shit dog, standing in the rain
10:43Who's on, doing that again
10:48Driven by a powerful piano riff, the rock piece should be much more well known outside the fandom.
10:54John Lennon and Paul McCartney sing together in joyful vocal performances that build to control chaos.
11:00Some kind of solitude is measured out in you
11:04By the end of the recording, listeners get to hear two grown men have the time of their lives as they bark and shout like animals.
