Ah, "Uninvited," the one seriously decent Alanis song.

Who would tell they were, exactly a decade ago, the most mega, most popular, most over-exposed band of the US? Hootie & The Blowfish, we salute you!

Hold My Hand

(Yeah, with just one of their official videos YouTube'd. Goes to show my tribute question wasn't solely rhetorics...)

― Ricardo (jaxxalude), Friday, 14 July 2006 18:38 (eighteen years ago) link

I wish somebody would put up Hootie's guest shot on TV Funhouse. Triumph insulted them. Good times.

You were supposed to be recognized by your music. You ended up getting your props by releasing a PSA video and by banging Winona Ryder. Soul Asylum, we salute you!

We really do need a "Was adult alternative the yacht rock of the 90s" thread. "The Way" is yacht rock WITH ADDED MIDDLE CLASS GUILT.

Who cares if you pissed off country music right-wingers in the late 80s? What we know is that Ingenue's mainstream success kicked the door wide open for the Lilith Fair era. kd lang, we salute you!

This thread needs Like Lovers Do by Lloyd Cole. Still being played in Gap outlets in Eccles.

Actually, the tracklistings from Gap's corporate compilations would be a considerable crib-sheet.

Also: Life of Surprises by Prefab Sprout. Recently heard soundtracking the opening sequence to Hollyoaks. I thought I had Virgin 1215 on instead.
