The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.

We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

As much as I bitch about how sucky albums were in the 90s where you'd get a couple good songs and a lot of garbage, the self title that this single is from is great from end to end. Like fucking fantastic don't miss it if you like this song.

Could not agree more with your assessment of the album! I still get โ€œStupid Girlโ€ stuck in my head.

I'm going to throw this on for my ride home

It was a cracker, but I think my heart still lies with Version 2.0 - even if Only Happy When It Rains is perhaps their standout song, from all of their stuff.

One of my all time greatest muses. If you haven't heard their newest album check it out. It's fantastic!! Godhead and the title track are a good place to start.
