i also hate "bright lights" bc it's a fake counting crows song that is inordinately shittier than the worst counting crows song

Surprised to see so much 'Smooth' championing. That Santana album is fucking odious (aside from the Michelle Branch single, which I like quite a bit).

the michelle branch single was from a different odious santana album

Agreed, but the problem with "Bent" is Rob Thomas singing it
i was going to disagree bc i really like the way he sings the verse but wow his singing on the bridge is prob some of the worst recorded noise ever

i was watching the "how far we've come" video and youtube's next suggestion was "mr. brightside," so i guess that's why i like it

Ahhhhhh, okay. So Supernatural is just straight garbage, then.

i used to think "slide" by goo goo dolls was matchbox 20.
smooth is for real heads only

i also think "how far we come" is a total jam and really stood out at the time given how terrible most of the solo rob singles are

yeah that song was awesome, and North was a really strong album, i feel like they kind of belatedly became a good band after people stopped paying attention

Re: having a different singer, my wife likes MB20 because of Thomas' excitement when he's performing. Personally I only like the first album, Mad Season I got for $2 and couldn't find anything on it worth saving.
And the songs I really like on Yourself or Someone Like You aren't singles ("Kody," "Busted").

I really can't seem to escape "Long Day" being stuck in my head! In particular the way he sings this very distinctive jumble of a lyric:
Well I'm surprised that you'd believeIn anything that comes from meI didn't hear from you or from someone else- and you're soSet in life, man, a pisser-they're-waiting-too-damn-badYou get so far so fast, so what, soooo long
Great song IMO. It got a lot of retroactive airplay after 3 a.m. and Push broke them, but if it'd actually been released and marketed after those songs I think it could have been a really huge hit. Not sure, but I suspect it may have also fallen victim to that Billboard "can't chart if a physical single isn't currently in print" deal. As it is it kind of got lost a bit and as I've said on other threads, when alt-rock radio went nu-metal and pop radio kind of shed rock songs, this and the other YOSLY songs more or less disappeared from rotation. It certainly deserved a better fate that, say, "Back 2 Good," which really did feel like "okay, we've squeezed one too many singles out of this pedestrian pop-rock record."

Nice. The only really surprising thing to me is that someone would vote for "Back 2 Good" which never clicked with me whatsoever, but hey. Thanks for voting, y'all!
