A Long December (Counting Crows)
Soul Asylum's cover of Rhinestone Cowboy.
The former is ever relevant, the latter is somehow both a total reimagining of the song and true to the original.
Yeah, I date myself with both of those. Yeah, I was probs in HS for both of them.
That, and Good Riddance / Time of your Life (Greenday). I understand it was supposed to be a sarcastic dig at a woman. But that's not how audiences largely heard it, and it became the legit, totally unironic anthem of a certain generation that I am abs not a part of.
Also... There's a completely random punk band no one but me has ever heard of (Ruth Ruth), and their album Laughing Gallery has been by my side at some of my lowest points over the years. Wish I could let 'em know the impact they had in making sure I pushed through some of the worst periods.
