And why do you think it underperformed? (No promotion, bad timing, too much drama, overshadowed by more popular songs etc.)

Barbie Girl was the first song that popped in my head. My reason... I'm high and it seems deep.

Marina and the diamonds did not get on the radio as much as they deserved to, but I guess the late 2000s weren’t yet time for 2010s esque pop

Yes - Close to the Edge

It's simple. Prog rock/prog metal is epic, complex, instrumentally challenging, & beautifully written with intricate lyrics and themes. There's no denying it's heightened level of creativity. Close to the Edge is widely considered the greatest prog song of all time, and I can agree with that, so that's why I chose it. However, a lot of people don't care for music like this due to their short attention spans and/or their disregard for musical ingenuity in favor of simplistic party music & rehashed love/sex songs because they wanna fit in with the masses. This makes prog less popular, therefore it being criminally underrated. 🙂👍

It would be "Out of Touch" from the Cut_ for me. The Band isn’t just that known like The Imagine Dragons or similar groups, so that would be the reason that this song isn’t that popular. But this song is very good. The beat is relaxing and the lyrics are good delivered through the voice from the singer. (I hope you can read it without getting headaches) Wish you all a Nice day :)

Well I've been finding tons of indie music for the last few years now and discovering plenty of artists through that.

But lately I found the song 'Fuck up Person' by Nana Lourdes and I really reccomend it.

Magdalena Bay - How to Get Physical

Is also phenomenal

Apple Cart Sink by Geezer Lake is one of my favourite songs from the 90s but the band just never made it out of their local scene. All three of their albums were really good and interesting
