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 believe
In anything that comes from me
I didn't hear from you or from someone else
- and you're so
Set in life, man, a pisser-they're-waiting-too-damn-bad
You 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!
