It was such a killer time for music, especially rock music in all of its turn-of-the-millennium evolutions. Lots of big names got famous during that decade and remain famous today. Others, unfortunately, made it big with one hit before disappearing from the Billboard Hot 100 chart entirely. When it comes to the following three rock bands and artists who disappeared after the 1990s, I just don\u2019t think that\u2019s fair. Especially considering that they didn\u2019t actually disappear, and their post-90s tunes are actually fantastic. Let\u2019s give them some love, shall we?<\/p>\n<p>Semisonic<\/p>\n<p>Semisonic had a big hit on their hands with the 1998 alt-rock ballad, \u201cClosing Time\u201d. That Grammy-nominated track was a Top 20 hit across the board, reaching No. 1 on the Alternative Airplay chart and No. 11 on the Radio Songs chart in the US. But after that song dropped, they did not make it to the Radio Songs chart again. And by the start of the 2000s, Semisonic had faded away from the charts, almost entirely. In 2001, the band went on a hiatus. But, fortunately for fans, the band reunited in 2017 and dropped the EP You\u2019re Not Alone in 2020. The title track of that song was their first charting single in nearly two decades, peaking at No. 14 on the Adult Alternative Airplay chart.<\/p>\n<p>Chumbawamba<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m still firm on my belief that Chumbawamba was the best anarcho-punk band of the 1990s. And they remain one of the most underrated rock bands of the era, honestly. But back in 1997, Chumbawamba scored a surprising mainstream hit with \u201cTubthumping\u201d, an ode to fighting adversity that still remains a pub classic today. \u201cTupthumping\u201d peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and it would be the band\u2019s only song to chart in the US. Though, across the pond, this band didn\u2019t \u201cdisappear\u201d from the charts until the end of 1998. Chumbawamba would break up officially in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Candlebox<\/p>\n<p>Candlebox is still around today, but this grunge and hard rock outfit initially broke up in 2000. Before then, the group scored a big hit with the song \u201cFar Behind\u201d in 1994, which peaked at No. 18 on the Hot 100. After that, the band never appeared on the coveted chart again, though they continued to enjoy Top 40 success on the Mainstream Rock chart for several years. Some might believe these rock artists from the 1990s disappeared, but they\u2019re actually still going strong today. Their most recent release is the 2023 album The Long Goodbye.<\/p>\n<p>Photo by Paul Natkin\/Getty Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Does anyone else miss the 1990s?
