POO: One of the 23 bands Wikipedia classifies as "Post-Grunge"

Wow, that...is a list of truly dire bands! So 'post-grunge' basically just means 'music execs who missed the grunge boat flock to college towns across the country to sign every fourth-rate hard rock band with a name like Menutwist or Mopblock or Ten Tango Felchjob so they can squirt a couple shitty and soon to be forgotten singles into modern rock radio rotation'?

I do, admittedly, have a playlist featuring a lot of the mid-'90s variety of those shitty singles but I can't say I legit enjoy very many of them.

Yeah, this pretty much has to be Foo Fighters by default because their first album and a couple subsequent singles are killer.

I like the Greta songs I've heard. 'Fathom' popped up in rotation recently, and that sounded pretty good.

xp also pom you really do need to get on FB

Do not underestimate my degree of FB defiance (but thank you!).

the only foo fighters song I like is “big me”

lol at the age of daze/days story:

Age of Days 2012–present Fredericton, New Brunswick Radioactivity (2013)
Age of Daze (pre-Age of Day) 2005–2011 Fredericton, New Brunswick Hollywood Ending (2008)

you know part of that story is that a founding memory always understood it as "age of days" and just thought that it was spelled "daze".

Foo Fighters probably have the best body of work. But Santa Monica is the best song by any of these bands.

Came in just to say exactly this.

still amuses me that Razorblade Suitcase was considered this colossal failure that pissed off diehard Bush fans, this massive sophomore dump, and now any time any American thinks of Bush in 2020 it's usually to mock Rossdale's accent.

That's just foin
That's just one of my neye-ms

in high school typing class there was this funny girl that just liked to literally blurt out lyrics of songs at random times and every so often during class she'd yell out

SWALLLOWWWWWWWWWED

Everclear started strong but then they greased up their toboggan and went down that hill lickety split.

Bush had probably the stupidest lyrics of any band from their era. And the competition was STEEP.

xpost they loved the G5 chord

best Everclear song:

i agree that a reggae concept record based on the film "cool runnings" was a v poor career choice

Everclear got so weirdly regressive with their constant navel gazing about their lost youth. I whipped up some logical progression lyrics for them back in the day, something like

I'm sittin' 'round my childhood bedroom
Wishin' I could crawl back into mommy's womb
I don't wanna plead and I don't wanna beg
Just let me split back into a sperm and egg
I heard it on the AM radio, whoa-oh
