"Bad Day" by Fuel
The Pennsylvania hard rock band Fuel had a strong debut in the late 90s with their breakout hit, "Shimmer," which shined at #42 in 1998. After gaining this traction, their follow-up record, "Something Like Human," was even bigger, scoring a handful of successful singles and a peak at #17 on the Top 200. The record also gave Fuel their only top 40 hit with "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)" getting to #30 in 2000. I was surprised that the beautiful "Bad Day" didn't do better. It topped out at only #64 yet remains one of my favorite tunes by the band. Fuel's last chart appearance would be in 2004 with "Falls On Me," which hit #52.
