REM - The One I Love!
Show threadPlaidBaronAug 11, 2023

I mean, Song 2 by Blur.

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

The first thing that came to mind is

15 Step - Radiohead

A couple others that came to mind that people might not know.

5 years time - Noah and the Whale

1878 - The Dear Hunter

Thirteen Hours - Andy Shauf

Show threadOwenedsAug 11, 2023
Speaking of Andy Shauf, have you listened to Foxwarren?
Show threadkvnAug 11, 2023
I have! I do like them too but not as much as Andy Shauf’s solo stuff
Show threadOwenedsAug 11, 2023
I love the Foxwarren album but have only listened to pockets of Andy’s stuff. Any recommendation of where to jump in?
Show threadkvnAug 11, 2023
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.
Show threadOwenedsAug 11, 2023
Thanks, will give them a go!

Someone beat me to Four Winds but …

and an old number-based favourite:

88 Lines About 44 Women - The Nails

Narrowing it down to songs where the name is nothing but numbers, 2112 (Rush), 2:19 (Tom Waits) and 5:15 (The Who) are all bangers. I also love the Johnny Cash version of One.

I’m not the first person to post 2112, am I?
Show threadkvnAug 11, 2023
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
Show threadCarlsIIIAug 11, 2023
Oh, oops, I misread the title
Show threadw2tpmfAug 11, 2023
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?

🙌 Tool (and progressive rock in general) doesn’t get much love around here. Which is understandable I guess. It’s not alternative enough? so let me give you some ❤️❤️
