Faith no more? Not only is that not 80s but they had mega jams.

mega jams <> hits

i said in the OP this isn't a debate on the quality of the band, but rather radio hits.

i only know of 2, but yes, these were in the 90s.

Man, every time I hear "I've Been In Love Before" on the radio it just gets my toes a tappin!

Or maybe that'll happen the first time I hear it...

Everyone knows Voices Carry, but Coming Up Close is a better song. No idea if it was a hit, but I listened to it way more than VC. I really should listen to more Aimee Mann.

That song reached #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #2 on Billboard adult contemporary.

If you've never heard it you must have had on ear muffs throughout the spring of 1987.

And suspicious minds
Blue
Funny how love is

Their first album was a big fricking deal. The second, very commercial.
