Dave Pirner's songwriting sessions turned into the album “Grave Dancer's Union,” with a string of hits like “Black Gold.” But, it was the third single that catapulted Soul Asylum to super stardom: “Runaway Train.”

The song only went to No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, but the video became a staple on MTV and led to the recovery of 21 of the 36 missing kids featured in it.
