Even the most obscure of the bunch you can think of.

I don't know what's radio friendly about a song about Courtney Love's vagina.

<font color=white>Do you mean lyrical content wise (no swearing etc) or stuff that could appeal to a mass audience?</font>

Everything that got played on the radio back then, perhaps? Despite some of it not being quite suitable for most radio stations, there was certainly a nice opening of the doors for music that was not so "safe" and "friendly" sounding as alot of the tripe was back in the 80's.

Ok so he had one or two (Heart shaped box and Moist Vagina) but there was plenty other awesome songs. "Come as you are" was a really good song along with others such as "Dumb"

Stone Temple Pilots have some radio friendly tracks.

You could pass some Pearl Jam as radio friendly (Daughter, Low Light, In Hiding, etc.)

Green Day for sure. The Dookie album actually became dookie after about the millionth time i heard the songs on the radio.

Incubus
A Perfect Circle
LINKIN PARK

Tool, not so much, seeing as most of their songs are over 6 minutes long and usually release one or two singles per album.

I didnt realize APC were a 90's band. Linkin Park either.

Tools entire "Undertow" album has songs mostly within 4-5 minutes or so length wise.

But they didnt really hit the mainstream in such a big way back then.

Well fuck me in the ass....it does. I see 90's and nothing else matters usually.
Maybe I am stuck in that timeframe. Good one to be stuck in.

I thought Hybrid Theory was like 1999 or so, anyway.

No I think it was made in 2001 (It was best selling album of 2001)

I loved 2001. Not because of Linkin Park as a band, but Linkin Park as the music.

Actually, it's listed as 2000 on every discography I checked (Both of them) So we're both wrong. :lol:

Which makes sense. My bandmates were actually playing In the End at one point, when I walked into rehearsals, and this was the winter before my 21st Birthday.

The song sounds weird with no bass, by the way.
Just John

Yeah, odd because its not exactly a song well known for the bass in it.
Kane Knight
06-11-2007, 09:54 AM
Naw, and there really isn't a lot interesting in the bass, but without the bottom, the sound is funky.

Could have also been that they were playing it in E, not Drop Cb.

For today, didn't see that part.

WELL THAN GWAR, ObVIoUSLY.

Not gonna lie here I would be much happier if I heard GWAR on the radio more often
