Well, Primus seems to think Jerry really was a racecar driver, but I'm still not convinced. Gotta love the weird blend of Devo and Butthole surfer's aesthetics in this video, though. And Primus was actually the first band I ever heard anyone use the word Alternative to describe.
41. Tripping Daisy - My Umbrella
Yeah, these guys totally had another song before that "I Got a Girl" nonsense. At the time they totally epitomized that bland, guitar pop that began to abound in the early 90s, but now I miss them so much! I would kiss their faces.
42. Shakespeare's Sister - Stay
Does this video give you a boner? It also takes it away.
43. Blind Melon - Tones of Home
Before the bee girl took the world by storm, this song got a little bit of play on MTV. It's really kinda likeable, in a dirty hippie way.
44. Jane's Addiction - Stop!
Where is this song when the world needs it so much?
44. Mary's Danish - Leave It Alone
There's Jane's Addiction, then there's Mary's Danish, who seemed to be hoping to capitalize on having females and a black guy in a hard alternative rock band. Didn't work, but the try was noble enough.
45. Life Sex & Death - School's For Fools
And if you took the hot girls and black guy out of Mary's Danish, you'd have LSD.
46. Social Distortion - Cold Feelings
I bought this album hoping it would all be as dark as this song, but it was mostly fruity, "I wish I James Dean" crap.
47. 25th of May - It's All Right
Yet another dancey Brit band. Good song that you certainly have heard in 20 years, if ever.
48. Luscious Jackson - Daughters of the Kaos
Introducing us to these lovely hip ladies, there was "Daughters of the Kaos," which has the best drumbeat ever.
49. Catherine Wheel - Black Metallic
Yet another somber British band. My friend Scott used to think his sexuality would be called into question if it became common knowledge that he really loved these guys.
50. Suede - Animal Nitrate
Another British band that can't stop trying to have sex with me.
51. Morrissey - We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful
And here's a somber British guy who can't admit how much he wants to have sex with me.
52. Dramarama - Last Cigarette
These guys probably reached the pinnacle of their popularity on HFS when they released that Earth Day song, but this song really deserves to not be forgotten.
53. Toad the Wet Sprocket - All I want
I dated a girl who was in love with the Toad's first ablum (the one before this one, I guess, that you've never heard of) and she had all the 80s albums by Midnight Oil you never heard of either.
