Nah, it's not sad.  Not alot of them were real big hits, and are pretty much only remembered if one had the olympic soundtrack albums or remembered the songs from the actual Olympic telecasts on TV

One Moment In Time was an Olympic song?!

One moment in time b/c it's the only one I can think of immediately without hearing a sample.
