But wait! What follows are hundreds more "Lost Classics," in order by artist. Just keep scrolling down. Believe it or not, most of these actually appeared on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart. In most cases, the songs had a week or two in the "high numbers" (Who's original band name was that?), but vanished without a trace. Others were of a type of music that no longer fit any radio format known to modern man (damn those consultants... damn them all to hell!), and so, regretably, are no longer played for the masses. I keep updating the list as I think of more, so keep checking back.

NOTE: There is a syndicated show called "The Deep End" hosted by Nick Michaels that gives Lost Classics some love. Click Here for his site and a list of stations where you can dig the show.

How ironic is it, that the first song listed below could be the battle cry for the legions of "Lost Classics" that follow. I'm always looking for your "Lost Classics," so why don't you DROP ME AN eMAIL and I'll credit you.
