BOS to Matthew Sweet, "Sick of Myself."

beautiful and true. why was this not a huge hit single?

Mostly because he's doughy and intelligent.

Eww, the Merchant of Menace wrecking the Stones.  I give her SFTD a STFU.

This may even be worse than the BS&T version ("pleased ta MEETCHU!"), which is saying something. Ugh. Razsty's head would explode.  WOS, needless to say

"Big Me" is pleasant enough, but nothing that any 17-year-old with a few guitar lessons under his belt couldn't have come up with.  I'm often surprised at how lauded the Foo Fighters are - nice, melodic rock, yes, but Grammy-worthy stuff?

Can't say it was *huge* but I remember hearing it quite a bit on the indie rock station in Sacto that year. Ditto this Foo Fighters song.

well that was a more-than-all-right '95 set (and I don't say THAT often).

Oh I heard it on Live 105 too, but I meant *literally* a hit single, and per Top40db it never made the Top 40.

Exactly how I feel about that band. And they've kind of morphed from a grunge-pop band into AOR arena rock.

is it not a "you survived the tragedy of losing your meal ticket friend Kurt so here's a bone" situation?

I thought that at first, but now that the FFs have lasted twice as long as Nirvana, a new explanation is needed ...
