Check out the two that lead off their first hit album "New Miserable Experience."<br /><br />Obviously Hopkins had a real problem. That had to be the case to have the band kick him out when he was one of their focal points on the local scene and wrote the first two songs on their major debut.<br /><br />And next Trash Can Sinatras. Especially on their first two CD's gorgeous pop melodies and arrangements. And then one time when I heard them do an acoustic set on the radio I realized that these lovely pop songs had some of the cleverist lyrics this side of Elvis Costello. Just stunningly great.<br /><br />Ace K.bglobe313https://www.blogger.com/profile/00308428545934319473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-40783469043104491072013-05-10T19:19:13.309-07:002013-05-10T19:19:13.309-07:00Did I say I hated Swandive?

And Nuclear Furniture mostly sucked.<br /><br />Maybe it's my man-crush on Paul Kantner songs and his fascinating (to me) vocal style. An underrated rhythm guitar player, too.<br /><br />But "Jane" is great. So is the whole "Freedom At Point Zero" album when you listen to it as a rock album and not with the Airplane baggage.<br /><br /><br />And I know I thanked Sal for the Ween track when it first made a playlist ages ago. "White Pepper" is such a great album, but, for me, it's the *only* Ween album I've liked.Shrinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12908213967283171538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-76722787575407634612013-05-10T07:24:31.431-07:002013-05-10T07:24:31.431-07:00my the-one-song-i-likes are usually from the UK - ...my the-one-song-i-likes are usually from the UK - "C'mon Eileen," Breathe's "How Can I Fall," (gulp) "True" (god, i hate that commercial).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-92226467365959699402013-05-10T07:22:59.750-07:002013-05-10T07:22:59.750-07:00Funny that the Gin Blossoms would make this set.
