4 Non-Blondes "What's Up" vs Edie Brickell "What I Am"

Everyone's mentioning her mouth but no one's talking about the fucking goggles

WTF is wrong with you people

She is wearing aviator fucking goggles

And is not politing a plane

Nor is her name Manfred von Richthofen

AG you are ruining my day with these. ugh.

:(

I hope to GOD that those are not fucking goggles

xxxxp Did she ever pull the goggles off the hat and put them on? Like, when shit really kicked into overdrive? That would've been cool.

I hope to god that's not a mouth

what I am is bad in a pretentious way whereas what's up is just bad in a horrible neighbor belting songs in the shower way

i had no idea that the singer of 4 non blondes was a pioneer of steampunk fashion!

linda perry invented burning man btw

I think we discussed this in another thread, but I didn't realize until recently that What I Am wasn't supposed to be mocking the speaker

my dad was into edie brickell, i have memories of that whole album

lol Phil, maybe that's where David Caruso got his CSI:Miami schtick from

correction: goggles over a BUM HAT

Little-known inspiration for a young Linda Perry:

can anyone tell me if edie brickell is more of a ws or more of a ws of shame?

Every 90's song, when it kicks in, should feature a lead singer strappin on the ol rock goggles if you know what I mean

It's like someone put together an unconvincing alt band for an early 90s movie and it got out into the real world and made a video before it could be recaptured.

Did we establish what year the EB was because oh God I have horrible memories of being made to listen to it my girls in my dorm freshman year. Circle of Light? I think that was another song off that album. SO BAD.

tbf I was really into bad ska at the time so I probably shouldn't throw stones BUT STILL

I QUIT
I GIVE UP
NOTHINGS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ANYBODY ELSE
IT SEEMS

omg "Circle" was a wholly ridiculous song that I loved because it was so petulant and whiny

Also, Linda Perry's guitar is stupid looking.

Also also, the 4NB lead guitarist should be ashamed for getting that crappy sawtooth-wave sound out of a Les Paul.

oh that's it

no way i'm clicking on that

Oops, voted for the best by mistake ("What I Am").

Also, thread needs this sample:

"Circle" improves dramatically if you imagine that the song's protagonist is wearing a Badtz-Maru tanktop

also this thread has inspired me to listen to the 4NB album

I dare you guys to google "Fill Me Up" images

I didn't even know the Edie Brickell song had lyrics. I thought they were just sounds.

1. "Train" 3:42
2. "Superfly" (Perry, Katrina Sirdofsky) 4:37
3. "What's Up?" 4:55
4. "Pleasantly Blue" 2:28
5. "Morphine & Chocolate" (Shaunna Hall) 4:44
6. "Spaceman" (Hall, Perry) 3:40
7. "Old Mr. Heffer" (Wanda Day, Hall, Christa Hillhouse, Perry) 2:16
8. "Calling All the People" (Day, Hall, Hillhouse, Perry, Dawn Richardson) 3:17
9. "Dear Mr. President" 4:43
10. "Drifting" 3:31
11. "No Place Like Home" (Day, Hall, Hillhouse, Perry)

You will never make it through this labrythn of doom

wtf

7 "Old Mr. Heffer"

song titles poll needed

"Train" is shockingly not terrible? I mean there's too much fucking harmonica but aside from that it's genuinely inoffensive.

like, remove the harmonica and it's a total 70s Heart pastiche

I can kind of hear a terrible mashup of these two, with the chorus of "What's Up" slowed down and played over the opening chords of "What I Am"

I say
OOOOOOLLLLLLLD
OOOOOOLLLLLLLD
OOOOOOLLLLLLLD
Mr Heffer!

never thought waterface would be anti-beef

"Superfly" is funky

this is not a good aesthetic choice

actually Linda Perry herself is not a good aesthetic choice, she's basically sounding like Ann Wilson suffering extreme, painful, anus-ripping constipation

Like I said, you won't make it

I wonder what she had to say to the President

and she said
AHHHHHHHHHYAYYAYAYAYAAAYEAH
AHHHHHHHHHYAYYAYAYAYAAAYEAH
AHHHHHHHHHYAYYAYAYAYAAAYEAH
Mr President!

"Dear Mr. President" (feat. Lou Reed, Fred Maher, Dion)

What is up is
what is up
are you great big hill
of hope?
