Top 10 Unheard Songs of the '90s: Orbit, "Medicine"

It's time for #3 on our list of the Top 10 Unheard Songs of the 1990s:* "Medicine," the 1997 single from the Boston band Orbit.


Forgotten mostly due to the fact that there were techno acts called The Orb and Orbital, as well as Orbit gum these days, this song unjustly never made the charts. I finally found the album in a dollar bin a few weeks back, so look for a full review of that soon.

*What's the criteria for this series? Basically, if the song never charted on the Billboard Modern Rock Top 40, it's eligible. This means, for example, that For Squirrels "Mighty KC" is ineligible, even though I don't think there's a radio station in the country that has played that song since 1996.
