I've started a playlist which will probably not grow very large. Only one in every five hundred mainstream songs I look for on Spotify is not found. That's a 99.8 success rate! As for these rare rejects (just six so far), they are mostly Canadian one-hit-wonders.
In 1971, four dudes at Ella Middle School of North York formed a band called Ethos with three guitars and drums. Only bass guitarist Peter Alexander would survive the two name-changes and cycles of roster changes over the next fifteen years which were highlighted by Canadian talent-search winnings, an EP release, contract with CBS Records and opener tours with the likes of Burton Cummings and Level 42.
In 1986 Alexander, now on keyboards and backing vocals, with his latest mates, struck the big time with hit Flippin' to the A Side on their self-titled album and a Juno Award nomination for Most Promising Group (won by Glass Tiger), and were then promptly snuffed out of existence in the wake of a Sony Music Group Takeover.
I call the playlist: Spotifried. And since you obviously can't find it on Spotify, I'll see that you can find it here.
Anyone remember Cats Can Fly?
