Disc 25 / 48

Two things led to this themed disc:  First, I love me some one hit wonders. Bands that only hit the chart one time (deserved or not) have a special place in my heart. I could have stuck "867-5309" on here just as easily as anything else on the disc. Second, my mother always complains that she doesn't recognize any of the songs on the Timothology when she listens to them. So it seemed obvious to make a disc full of songs that are hugely recognizable from bands that people who aren't musical superobsessives might have heard of. Or, to put it another way, this is the best hour and eighteen minutes you'll never hear on the radio.
