1. A common thread of the best powerpop bands of the early ’90s

    Why did their labels make them look like hippies? Jellyfish and Enuff Z’Nuff both suffered this fate, and in hindsight it’s SUPER FREAKING ANNOYING. Close your eyes while listening to the highlights of their respective catalogs and you’ll hear nothing that’s anywhere close to being included on that Grateful Dead tribute comp to which Jane’s Addiction contributed a song*.

    I mean could you imagine Bun E. Carlos standing for that sort of bullshit styling? Honestly.

    * this prob should have been a sign in hindsight
