This list is so "college rock" in the sense of what jewel boxes littered the most floors of dorm rooms, as opposed to what was played on college radio stations.

the basic answer here is surely : none of the above.he is a producer for hire.you pay the fee, you get his name on the production credit.

― Patriotic Goiter (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 8 October 2020 21:09 (three years ago) link
I imagine them as CMJ mainstays. I remember "American Music" and their Culture Club cover getting airplay as late as summer '91.
"American Music" is so corny and yet I really love it? Is that Jerry Harrison's doing somehow?

It's in line with a general phenomenon among people who make great art and then just want to chill and direct a Jack or record a 'Don't Drive Drunk' in their latter years.

I kind of agree with mark e: all of them are surprising, until you've gotten halfway through the list and realize what he's about as a producer, and then none of them are surprising.

"college rock" in the sense of what jewel boxes littered the most floors of dorm rooms, as opposed to what was played on college radio stations
Yeah this is epically true, and so evocative.
Maybe what we need right now is a POLLege rock poll, that focused on stuff (mostly US, white, burby) college students actually listened to in 1993 or whatever. Yr Hootie and the Crows, Duncan Loeb, BNL, DMB, GooGoo Blossoms, Rusted Spin, Semisonic Ray, Third Eye Doctors, Counting Root, Live Traveler, Sheryl Sweet type shit.
I recall feeling a little too old for it, but some of it became a guilty pleasure and I confess there was some of it that hit me just right.

1992 Volo Volo Poi Dog Pondering
I'd completely forgotten about this band. They were like Rusted Root for grad students. And now I see that Jerry has produced both bands, which is a degree of masochism I was not aware was possible.
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 9 October 2020 15:10 (three years ago) link
Poi Dog sort of bounced around, from Hawaii to Austin and ultimately to Chicago, where they remain kind of an outdoor music mainstay in the way the Bodeans are to WI (and Chicago, too). Every bar band in Chicago seemingly features members of Poi Dog.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 9 October 2020 15:16 (three years ago) link
Yes. I seem to recall that one of the Poi Dogs, the one who would call me to drive him to the ramen noodle shop when his car broke down, produced an album by a band featuring one of the Chicago ILX0rs.
― She Thinks I Will Dare (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 9 October 2020 15:20 (three years ago) link
I remember in the early '90s, XRT pretty much played them hourly.
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 9 October 2020 15:20 (three years ago) link
They were a really good live band. I remember somebody- some of the band members, I think! - making the following joke: PD1: Somebody said we should make a kids album! PD2: I thought we already did!

My only memory of PDP was seeing Dag Juhlin (I think) as part of "John Wesley Harding's All-Male Threesome." Iota in Arlington maybe 2003 or '04?
Footnote: The third member of the threesome was REM side-bro Scott McCaughey.
― nonsensei (Ye Mad Puffin), Friday, 9 October 2020 16:52 (three years ago) link
Yeah, Dag frequently plays in my guitar teacher's cover band, along with a former PDP drummer. (Plus singer/multi-instrumentalist David Blamires, who used to play with Pat Metheny; I love it when all these talented folks just end up in certain places, playing with whomever).

i tried to be fair to jerry, choosing the song that seemed best from each piece. or the song that seemed least bad. or a song with a word from a talking head song in it. or the first song on the ablum. i tried to be fair to jerry, and this is what came out.
― bogo jumbo boba (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 9 October 2020 19:00 (three years ago) link
oftentimes, i'd look up the album art and try to find the most popular song from that album in the artist's most played list. oftentimes, that particular album was absent.
