I write stuff and you read it.
Last summer, Spectrum Culture did a 100 Best Songs of the ’90s list. I wrote some entries, which you can find below.
#93 – Smashing Pumpkins | “Mayonaise”
#90 – Britney Spears | “…Baby One More Time”
#70 – Foo Fighters | “Everlong”
#60 – Nine Inch Nails | “Hurt”
#45 – Guns N’ Roses | “November Rain”
#33 – Nirvana | “All Apologies”
#13 – R.E.M. | “Losing My Religion”
#6 – Depeche Mode | “Enjoy the Silence”
This seems to be the sibling of “The Pretender,” both in its structure and its inoffensively vague politicking. The difference is that “The Pretender” felt finished; this feels rushed and thrown together. Still, Foo Fighters is comfort food to many (myself included), and in 2017 we need it. If you still listen to modern/active rock radio, though, get ready to be sick of this song by summer’s end.
