I could put the Spice Girls songs on my worst since I've never heard a song from them I could stomach, but technically I can't think of how those songs go so I'm leaving them off the list.

4 good/ok for 1997:

23 21 Sarah McLachlan - Building a Mystery
19 18 Third Eye Blind - Semi-Charmed Life
12 15 Paula Cole - I Don’t Want to Wait
06 08 Chumbawamba - Tubthumping

 

[Channel98]

One night, Chumbawamba guitarist Allan "Boff" Whalley and his wife watched a drunken neighbor singing Danny Boy while he struggled to open his front door. He finally managed to open the door and stumble into his house. Whalley was inspired to write a song about perseverance: "I get knocked down but I get up again. You are never gonna keep me down." The song included a reference to Danny Boy. There were eight members of Chumbawamba. All eight are credited as the writers of Tubthumping. The title is British slang for aggressive political protesting.

More than 20 bands have recorded Tubthumping. Phish included the song on their 1998 six-disc live album Hampton Comes Alive, recorded at Hampton Coliseum in Virginia. (The title is a play on Peter Frampton's 1976 Frampton Comes Alive album.)

[Channel98]

Mister Hectic, Tool had three hits on the mainstream rock chart in 1997: H. got to #23, Ænema got to #25 (and would win a Grammy award for best metal performance) and Forty Six & 2 reached #22. Tool has placed only two songs on the Hot 100. Schism reached #67 in September 2001 and Fear Inoculum got to #93 in August 2019. Fear Inoculum was the longest song to make the Hot 100 – until this week, when André 3000's I Swear I Really Wanted to Make A Rap Album But This Is Literally The Way The Wind Blew Me This Time debuted at #90.

I like the Pumpkins, but this song just annoys me. From that album "Zero" is banger. "1979" is great too.
