Listing to some music and they pop up. To the Europeans out there I'm curious, are they big time popular out there?

I'd say for my money, they kind of kicked ass here in the 90s. They sang in English though so don't know if it ever crossed over back home.

Edit 1: Song that caught my attention was "Fading a Like Flower"

Edit 2: Always thought that singer chick was hawt.

They were popular in the UK for around 10 years, I still hear tracks from Joyride get airtime on the radio (only album I'm familiar with).

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

They were kind of disparaged back when I lived in Texas in the 90s. But then friends of mine who spent a few months in Europe saw them live and swore they were the best live act ever.

So, I don't know.......

Oh dear, I used to listen to that early 90s or so, old times... it was quite popular in France and Germany as far as I can tell, I think I still have a tape from Joyride somewhere.
