In the video game "WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2006" (released in 2005) one of my favorite songs on the soundtrack is a song called "Waiting" by a band named Not Forgotten. This song has the unique distinction of having the song's album listed as "Not yet released" in the game. Looking them up online, it is clear that they never did release a full studio album and there isn't much information about them. You can readily find two singles by them. One of them is "Waiting" (the song featured in Smackdown vs Raw 2006), and the other is a song called "Never Forget". Seemingly, the two of these were released together.
Now here's where things get a bit complicated. There are many bands named "Never Forgotten", so finding information on a different and obscure "Never Forgotten" is difficult.
I've found a Myspace page that could be from the band I'm looking for. This page lists the names of some band members and some songs. In addition to the two songs mentioned earlier, two more songs are listed on its page: "Tara's Song (live)" and "Instrumental Snippit New". However, attempting to play the songs does not work. "Tara's Song" can be found listed in a few music databases, but the song itself cannot. Inspecting element on the Myspace page gives us some metadata including a year (2005) and a YouTube video ID for "Tara's Song" (95IptCblU0I). However using it in a YouTube link brings up a private video. I've been trying to find these two songs as well as why the band vanished after being featured in a mainstream video game. I can't even find any concrete evidence to prove these missing songs were made by the same band. I am considering writing up an article about this topic for the wiki if there is any interest in it.
