Call this a guilty pleasure. Third Eye Blind was great at delivering catchy riffs and pop melodies in the '90's. I have to admit I liked a couple of their songs including this hit from their album "Blue."

Song of the day......B.R.M.C. with "Conscience Killer"
I still remember seeing these guys at the "Lion's Lair" in Denver back after their first album was released. I remember sitting out on the sidewalk watching the band unload their gear out of a U-Haul. An amazing live band. Would love to see them again. These guys are still playing old fashioned Rock & Roll the way that it was meant to be played. This is off their most recent release "Beat the Devil's Tattoo."

Song of the day.......Men at Work with "Who Can It Be Now"
One of my favorite bands from the '80's. Men at Work had a few very catchy songs including this hit. Definitely one of my favorite songs from this era. In an era of mostly bad hair bands, some of the synthesizer pop was really, really good.

Song of the day......Tony Furtado with "Bolinas"
Have never been a really big fan of Banjo music. This guy is great though. He can really make a banjo sing. It's worth the watch. Tony can rock the banjo.

Song of the day........ Filter with "Hey Man Nice Shot"
This one is from way back in the day. I never really cared for any of the other tracks that I heard from these guys, but this one was pretty good. I think the Slaughtered Seagulls even played this one back in the day. Great example of the drop - D tuning that was used on so many songs in the '90's grunge era. Good stuff.

Song of the day...... Loose Fur with "Laminated Cat"
Perfect example of a song that builds into a massive crescendo at the song's end. Clocking in at just over seven minutes, the song has plenty of time to build, and as each minute goes by more instruments are added until the end of the song is just a battle of thoughtfully constructed noise. This is definitely one of my favorites from the Loose Fur catalog. Loose fur is made up of two members of Wilco (Glen on Drums, and Jeff on Guitar/Vocals/Bass), and Jim O'Rourke from Sonic Youth fame. Jim O'Rourke actually did the final mix on Wilco's hugely successful Yankee Hotel Foxtrot album. This song was originally slated to appear on that album, however, it didn't make the final cut. Great song!!!
