“She Sells Sanctuary” was one of those songs when after hearing 30 seconds of it being played on the day of the record release and the big reveal on CHOM-FM, I ran to the phone to call my buddy. “Turn on CHOM now!”, and I hung up. After the song ended, we called each other back and raved.

You forgot Presidents of the USA

There’s no real equivalence or beef between Barenaked Ladies and Our Lady Peace, they were playing a different sport. Not sure why Our Lady Peace never made it big, they had a good first album and the second had two monster songs, their lead singer was charismatic and made the girls swoon. And then, they leaned into…

Matthew Sweet was 100% fun.

Starred for Live being a steaming pile portion of your comment, not for the Gin Blossoms portion.

You can, of course, like what you like! I had a lot of friends who were BNL fans but I can’t stand them. I never really measured OLP against them because I didn’t feel like the two bands had anything in common other than “Canadian” which ... I mean, it’s not like we compare Queensryche to Ariana Grande just because…

On that BNL tip, I haven’t been into them since well before Steve Page snorted his way out of the band a decade ago, but I still adore their catalog up to Stunt and have done some relistening the past few weeks. I’m practicing “Brian Wilson” to add to my acoustic set. Page was a damn fine songwriter.

I would say it’s very questionable whether he was actually good. The guy finishes with a career 60.3% completion rate and a 116-116 record, both completely average. Led the league in interceptions three times en route to 241 of them, never broke 70 QBR once in a single season, hasn’t had a double-digit win team this…

I saw them on CBS doing a profile for the upcoming tour, which is what prompted me to throw on the records. Yeah, I streamed the new album.... once. Saw them live a few times and they were a blast. I guess I just didn’t remember some of the subject matter of the songs.

Pavement is the “been called underrated by so many people, they’re kind of overrated” of 90s bands. I know that’s a Bill Simmons concept, but it was true of Ben Wallace in the NBA, and it’s true of them, too.

Violent Femmes were more of an 80s band tho? I loved them in high school and recently played some records for my wife, and... wow, there was some problematic lyrics to say the least.

BFF was very popular and rated well. They’re great, just not underrated.

This ages me massively, but The Cult were a very underrated rock band.

Feel like you’re just reading off bands on my college Power Hour playlist.

It’s great to see someone stanning Sweet on here. His first couple records are like if Weezer’s blue album had a baby with Neil Young and Big Star. The guitar work from Robert Quine and Richard Lloyd is also all killer.

The name strikes me because there is always some connection between seasons and Bokeem Woodbine’s Kansas City gangster was named Mike Milligan.

There are too many and it's annoying, but at least it's a lot easier to get 1 for a month or so and cancel it if you want. Unlike cable.

“McAllister went on to suggest that if subscription hopping doesn’t work for you, you could always go to the hq of each of the services and put tacks all over the stairs or rig up the computers so that everyone electrocutes themselves until they give you the subscription for free.”

When capitalism is prevented from running amok with sensible legislation, it has been great for this country. When it hasn’t been legislated, it has caused crash after crash.  I think that’s what she’s trying to say.
