This is where she spending my youth in Central Illinois listening to Adult Contemporary/Top 40 radio station 101.5 WBNQ has really helped me out. I can also differentiate between Savage Garden and The Real McCoy too.
“huge” is carrying a lot of weight in this sentence.
Like what you like!This thread has been painful reading for me(For the record, I have to say Hootie & The Blowfish actually have six studio albums
)
(tbf growing up in the UK I didn't get any of the baggage / saturation of them you guys did in the States - as @Joe Mac they were pretty invisible in the UK. Realising still that any tiny cred I had here shrivels up now)

Hard to argue a more influential track for the 80s than Blue Monday, and AoB synths are reused by a billion modern synth musicians.
This was obvious from not knowing which one was Nazis.
I suppose the nazi thing is debatable, but um… no.
I also thought the Roxette album was called Savage Garden, until you posted this and I checked Discogs. Damn the 90s popular music really is a blur for me.
Does this include The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

questions like this gonna kill my ability to barely skim
It’s too busy at work for me to find the links but there are several interviews over the years where modern bands cite their synth structures as influences for their music. One that comes to mind is TR/ST. You can hear it in every song on this album:
I’m not defending anyone. There’s a shit load of articles out there adding the needed nuance here. I asked for a record and now I’m more or less being implicated as a support of Nazism. So that’s fun.With these lyrics while also hanging in skinhead circles? You gotta do more than regret them later for me to believe they are a good person. Especially when they say you learned from it and don't want to talk about it.
Of all the people to go to bat for and defend on the internet today in 2024, I'm surprised to learn its the neonazi from Ace of Base.
Ace of Base's Secret Nazi Past
Before he founded Ace of Base, Ulf Ekberg was a neo-Nazi skinhead. Did Ekberg use Ace of Base's success as an opportunity to erase his neo-Nazi past and rise to a position of geopolitical influence?
The New Order portion of the statement wasn’t the part that I found incongruous.
I'm not sure that's true, but, even if it is, at least you're not being accused of defending Hootie.
And I totally apologize for bringing that up. I thought it was one of those internet rumours/urban myths.
Dickey Barrett unfortunately outed himself as a “Do The Research” anti-vaxx RFK supporter in recent years. I think is political views are why the band broke up.
And y’all think I have a problem with grunge. Lol
