"Airplay" is a broad term. With the Smithereens, only "a girl like you" made the pop top 40 and just barely at #38. If you're going to list those other 3 songs which made the modern rock and mainstream rock charts, then you also should include: house we used to live in, blues before and after, yesterday girl and top of the pops.
"Too Much Passion", a song I've never heard of, hit #37 on the US Hot 100. I double checked the billboard site.
You're right, I missed a few songs that were pretty good.

Big Head Todd has always been criminally underrated. I'll never understand how Todd Park Mohr was never more famous, he has everything you should want in a frontman. Sister Sweetly is still one of my favorite albums.
Oh man.... I remember the first time i heard "Bittersweet" on the radio (1993?)...I had to sit in my car until the song ended just to find out who sang that amazing song....

Wendy o Willimas update:

"On 6 April 1998, Williams committed suicide near her home in Storrs, Connecticut by gunshot. She had attempted to kill herself twice in the years leading up to her death; allegedly she had also been struggling with deep depression."

Who knew?

When my son was a little tot and needed to be entertained in his car seat, Big Head Todd's cover of Boom, Boom, Boom was the go to song to calm him down.
