    I mean, Song 2 by Blur.

    Made to make fun of grunge and instead made a banger of a grunge-ish song.

      Speaking of Andy Shauf, have you listened to Foxwarren?

        I have! I do like them too but not as much as Andy Shauf’s solo stuff

          I love the Foxwarren album but have only listened to pockets of Andy’s stuff. Any recommendation of where to jump in?

            The Neon Skyline is my favorite of his and also the first album I heard from him. The Party is also pretty good. Both are concept albums so I would recommend listening to them straight through.

      Quite a good cover version of that was done by Bruce Foxton , former bassist from The Jam, only made it as far as a B side though.

      I thought about it. It’s an absolutely epic and essential song for any classic rock or prog fan. But I felt that it fell outside of alternative

    I’m surprised no one has said “One”. I guess Metallica’s global fame is starting to fade.

      Probably the only Metallica song I ever liked - got to be coming up on nearly 40 years old at this point, eh?
