Any idea why SP weren't mentioned in Dave Grohls' Sonic Highways documentary?

It's not a bad song. I feel like half of y'all haven't even listened to Wasting Light.

Somebody explain to me how White Limo sounds like everything the Foos have done before.

White Limo was just a second-rate rehash of Watershed.

but with that one it's like, not only how did a band get away with ripping off pearl jam so much, but that specific pearl jam song as well

was that song even their "big hit" i'm always hearing about or what

[Trotskilicious]

i've certainly never listened to anything else they've ever made

[Trotskilicious]

do you guys remember tonic and how goddamn horrible they were

[amoergosum]

[Trotskilicious]

they were like the biggest band for a minute right? like they were everywhere, they had three hits a couple albums right? nobody ever talks about them, like they've been completely swept under the rug

[dodoz]

America has made Bush (the band) superstars so anything was possible really.

But hey let's talk about Better than Ezra for a minute

I have those two albums

I was really into them circa 2008/2009.

I'm not ashamed.

i have this weird feeling that it is almost reminding me of some event i've forgotten, but i'm not sure

the candlebox song does remind me of a period in my life, not because of the song itself really, just because it was one of the songs my ex played over and over. i want to say this one might have been too.

[T&T]

what is this candle box song?

They were ok I always liked Lifehouse's No Name Face. I could care less about what other people think I always liked the instrumentals more than the actual singing in this particular album. Almost sounds a little Smashing Pumpkins IMO.

[Elphenor]

Oh god that band is so shit

It's hard to believe a group like that could even get signed.

[fuzzyroes]

Anyone remember these guys?



Their record label was really trying to push that shit out there at the time. Just total garbage

[Trotskilicious]

tonic was big, right? am i crazy did that happen in life

and at some point everyone was like OH SHIT THIS BAND SUCKS and no one ever spoke of them again

[Trotskilicious]

i thought that days of the new song was AIC until today

[Trotskilicious]

SISTERAH I SEE YOU
DANCIN ON THE STAGE
OF MEMORIES~

[Trotskilicious]

[Trotskilicious]

i don't know depends on what you'd rather hear: a pearl jam knock-off or a skrillex knock-off (not really, but damn those guitars are mixed stupidly low on that nixons song)

seriously though there is obv some rose-tinted goggle stuff goin on with the 90s because i'm always surprised when i re-discover some of the stuff that actually is "90s" i.e. started by at least 2014 (korn, marilyn manson, limp bizkit - i consider most of this kind of stuff "turn of the century" but yep it was right there with mellon collie and the bends etc.)

[slunken]

this was the tonic song i liked. 1999/2000. man that guy looks like louis ck.

[slunken]

but like the rock version, obviously

[Order 66]

wow.. tonic. feel like i stepped out of the delorean

[slunken]

they were part of that weird 3rd generation grunge movement when everyone else started moving toward electronics you started seeing bands like tonic and fastball and lit
