Lovefool by The Cardigans was much better, Kiss Me is just kind of wimpy, forgettable sacharine.

Lovefool was RUB and certainly not in the same league as the above songs. Can you imagine Joey Potter walking along deserted Boston st/deserted Capeside pier whilst this plays? Obv ans = NO. However, My Favourite Game is something that could easily be played at a frat party hahaha Jack is frat boy hahaha.
I did larff on Jens radio show where she talks about REAL ROCK music and then goes on to play Tenacious D.

Well I was thinking of more of a Thowing Muses lite, a sort of relation ship OMC's 'How Bizarre' had with Beck.My mind works in mysterious ways but I think the track it most reminds me of is 'Dizzy', but I don't have it to hand to confirm and I haven't heard it for years, probably before 'Kiss Me' came out.
― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 05:59 (twenty-one years ago) link
No, because that relationship was "tons better than".
(Actually this is a good qn - which bands benefit from a 'lite' approach? Which don't?)

^^ 'Shouei'/Sway of some sorts, and would've fitted Dawsons Creek perfectly.
Also, 'Kiss Me' rules, Alfred (for once) drools.

I am a man with a beer gut, a propane grill, and approximately eleven guitars and I like or love every song mentioned in this thread. I didn't care that "Wrong Impression" felt like a Sundays imitation, because even imitating the Sundays is a way to evoke the joy I get from the actual Sundays. Even if "Summertime" or "Static & Silence" constitute the Sundays imitating the Sundays I am all for it. More please.
I think I even owned the Sixpence CD with "Kiss Me." No regrets, even if I turned up my nose at the Christian stuff ("Waiting Room").

How about "Breathe Your Name"? The lyrics seem obviously Xtian; but I always thought it was clever how it fit on secular radio b/c it could be (mis-)heard as referring to romantic rather than religious rapture, if you weren't listening closely.
― i’m still stanning (morrisp), Tuesday, 19 June 2018 20:25 (five years ago) link
Yeah morrisp, compare the Amy Grant of "Unguarded" - love songs that could easily be read as romantic or religious as the audience required.

relistening to this properly and realising what a reserved vocal performance it is, I can imagine it makes a more fun song to inhabit as a listener that you can't do with a song by The Sundays in the same way
"Wrong Impression" is a great song but in an entirely different way - giddy and glossy and widescreen in a way "Kiss Me" struggles to reach and The Sundays aren't trying to
