Modern Rock #1 Hits of 1995

1979 is the bigger surprise tbh (or will that show up in 96?)

I havent heard JAR in forever and it sounds p rad; You Oughta Know is probably my favorite Flea guest appearance; and I have always had a soft spot for Tomorrow, will never forget the Trouser Press 90s book comparing that song to Bad Company...

probably end up voting for one of those three

1979 was a #1

I find it amusing that both "When I Come Around" and Good ar eon here when they are essentially the same song.

Except one is the actual best song on this list and the other is by Better than fucking Ezra.

You Oughta Know is probably my favorite Flea guest appearance

"Bust a Move"!

dude how were you alive in the 90s and don't know exactly which actor it was

Two things:

1.) I have never heard that rumor and I was alive in the 90s.

2.) I just googled it and GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE WAHT.

Oasis, easily. Like Deric, I'll give Alanis credit for effectively evoking something.

xp When I Come Around and Good are not the same song. ?

I thought everyone knew who YOK was about.

Although lol at the thought of her giving JL a blowie.

Guys it's so much worse than Laroquette: Dave Coulier!

:O

yes, laroquette is a much more respectable actor to suck off in public, can't deny that.

never loved "Glycerine" but I remember fondly Michael Stipe on MTV introducing the song by explaining the title compounds uses for buggery.

voted Alanis.

I forgot the name of that really bizarre follow-up to Donnie Darko that had like 40 famous people in it, but at one point someone says a phone number and I was bored enough to try calling it, and turns out it was John Laroquette's voicemail.

Yeah anyway..

I disliked that Alanis song then and more so now. It's so horribly over the top bad.

xp don't judge me, Rev

if we're going through the "Nightcourt" cast then Richard Moll is a better fit

i don't even think who it was about was revealed until a few years back, definitely not while the song was big

"Bust a Move"!

I dont think I ever knew Flea was in that, whoops!

i don't even think who it was about was revealed until a few years back, definitely not while the song was big

It wasn't too long afterwards.. I think it was one of those late-90's internet rumors, similar to "marilyn manson was on the wonder years" or "billy corgan was on small wonder."

Except that it's actually confirmed that Uncle Joey and Alanis dated. I just don't think it's confirmed whether "You Oughta' Know" is about him specifically.

I heard that from some pretty major media outlets. I imagine there could be some libel charges flying around if it wasn't true...

I don't know if Alanis ever commented on it, but Dave sure has.

Oh weird, I knew it was Dave Coulier but somehow, that was always Uncle Jesse in my head. I only realized now that it was Uncle Joey.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I'll always remember him for Out of Control

which was undoubtedly when the nickelodeon-cast-member-on-nickelodeon-cast-member cinema bjs were being given in the first place.

almost missed this

"Wonderwall" it is

lots of honorable mentions though. Bush, "Comedown" and Green Day, "When I Come Around" are pretty good

The thing that disturbed me about the Coulier story is that Alanis was still very young when You Oughtta Know came out so she must have been a teenager when she was dating him.

oh that's right

xxp

ILX needs a You Can't Do That on Television nostalgia thread tbrr

Yeah, like even if she dated him in the early 90s, like it says on wikipedia, she would have been like 16 or 17. The world is gross and sucks.

I am checking out a bunch of these songs I don't recognize by name. So far I don't remember having heard any of them; but that definitely doesn't mean I didn't hear them, since they are precisely the sort of songs I would not have remembered.

You don't ever get to skip the commercials on youtube now? Sonsofbitchesmotherfuckers.

this morning some DJ on a popular ATL radio station said that Breeders "Cannonball" ('93) and Garbage "I'm Only Happy When It Rains" ('95) are the same song. what a dumbass

this should of been the RHCP song

"You Oughta Know" has more hooks in it than all these other songs combined.

the whole yoUu youUU youUu OUGHTA KNOE line is balls

"You Oughta Know" has more hooks in it than all these other songs combined.

Come on, "Wonderwall" is all hook.

it's like she's choking on a dick when she sings that

it's so weird, given how alanis turned out, how fucking brilliant "you oughta know"s lyrics are, how viciously and concisely she tells her story

lol some of the worst lyrics ever written matched only by how wretched the delivery is. "in...a thyatrrr" is like a master class in how to be a terrible singer

that said, from this horrible list I actually take "hand in my pocket," a pleasant enough tune despite yet more horrible delivery in the verses. I stab myself in the stomach with a kitchen knife every time I hear her say "I...certainly do" or even think it. fuckin ouch

You're wrong: "All I Really Want" is worse. Much worse. She sounds like a chimp chewing on your earlobe.

I heard "Good" on the radio today and while I never liked it as much as "In The Blood" or "Desperately Wanting" it has kind of grown on me over the years.

I confess before Almighty God and before you my brothers and sisters that I don't really think "Glycerine" is all that bad

Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, till you died
But you're still alive

This is some proto-Lavigne, right here.

That's a fast poll. Agree with everyone who sees decline from the '94 list. I'm bleah or worse on almost everything here except (blushing) Better Than Ezra's goofy song (which I used to like and had to check to discover it still sounds pretty good) and "Wonderwall," which I've heard too often. So another one for "Good"!
