And then there's Weezer. They looked like a one hit group, but their third album has gotten good reviews. One of my sons bought it and loves it... haven't heard it myself, but I bought their first album.

If you want to bemoan things truly gone, how about instrumentals that hit the top 40... Everything from 40 Miles of Hard Road and Walk Don't Run to kinda sappy stuff like The Poor People of Paris and all the Les Baxter stuff.
