I'm only one dude. But I didn't hear any of those songs until I bought the album. Which was like in 2002.Farmer John wrote:Wasn't the title track on "Harvest Moon" a pretty big hit?oasisfan35 wrote:The title track off The Rising was a fairly big hit.Kevin Davis wrote:I don't know if anything off "Harvest Moon" or "The Rising" would qualify.

Re: Late-career hit singles
Well the problem here was the fact that is was released nine months after 9/11... but I do believe television grabbed a hold pretty hard. I was no longer watching tele by this point but do remember it being played quite a bit that summer over FM.doug rr wrote:it was played endlessly because it was a 9-11 thing..theplatypus wrote:I remember seeing The Rising on TV all the time. It may have been the first Springsteen song I ever heard.
Also, if we really want to talk Springsteen Secret Garden was also pretty huge in the mid-90s.

I always liked that song. Hadn't heard it in many years.

That's probably a top 5 Nirvana song for me. I love it.
