the fine young cannibals had 'she drives me crazy' and 'good thing' (both US #1 hits) on 'the raw and the cooked,' but never repeated their success later on.

Roland Gift had big drinking/drug problems.

Also not many bands survived the big shift in sound between the late 80s and early 90s.

Fastball frontman Tony Scalzo came up with the idea for the song after reading articles that described the June 1997 disappearance of an elderly married couple, Lela and Raymond Howard from Salado, Texas,[5] who left home to attend the Pioneer Day festival at nearby Temple, Texas, despite Lela's Alzheimer's disease and Raymond recently recovering from brain surgery. They were discovered two weeks later, dead, at the bottom of a ravine near Hot Springs, Arkansas, hundreds of miles off their intended route.[6][7] The authorities who investigated the accident believed that Lela, who was driving the car, was trying to locate a place where she had once vacationed.[8]

for everyone else's edification, i said that fastball still plays in austin once in awhile and they have for at least 20 years. they never had another hit. not sure exactly what happened. maybe they just coasted on their "the way" money.

I remember there was a brief effort to promote the lead single of their follow up album but the public ignored it and they faded into obscurity.

They did at least have a song on the Varsity Blues Soundtrack so they will never be forgotten.

i bet they are regular job and a familymos now and gave up the road life a long time ago. the way was a huge hit, but how much do they really get in royalties every year from it? no doubt it's a nice supplement, but it doesn't come with health insurance. they've put out a bunch of records though.

Three, really, because I think Allison Road counts. But they could only keep Hopkins sober enough to record like 4 songs for each. Combined they’re barely a single full album and both the Till I Hear it From You and Follow You Down albums came out in 1995. I move that they be considered one constructive album.

Throwing Copper had several big tracks but Live put out several more albums and had decent success with some later songs like Dolphins Cry, Overcome, and Heaven.

They still tour with scumbag rock bands like Bush and STP although the singer is the only original member at this point. They had a lot of infighting and lawsuits, the story is pretty kooky actually.
