Definitive Audiophile pressings

I still think the Goo Goo Dolls + Limp Bizkit Pink Floyd cover is the worst. It's nearly untouchable for me as worst cover of all time. Pretty sure they even wrote their own verse for it.

Goo Goo Dolls are a bit like Soul Asylum or The Lemonheads though, in that they came up as a Replacements worshiping punk band that leaned in a bit too heavily to the top 40 adult alternate to garner 90s airplay and fame to varying degrees (The Dolls were the most egregious but also the most successful too). I think that almost makes Johnny Reznik worse than Fred Durst and Co. as Rsznik should have known better.

Poor innocent Mike. You’ve clearly not encountered the world of the 90s UK/Irish boyband…

Ronan Keating (Boyzone) covering Fairytale of New York takes the biscuit. Somehow he got Enya’s sister to duet on it. It has all the edge of a melted marshmallow.

that is slander against the self-titled Third Eye Blind. that album rules (except I do hate semi-charmed life and i actively avoid going to karaoke because i know SOMEBODY will sing it).

To be fair, it's really just Semi Charmed Life, New Radicals You Get What You Give and Train Drops of Jupiter that are forever enshrined in the Mather Pantheon of most insipid songs ever released. I'm not sure I've heard another song from any of them.

Well what about this one??

Hootie & the Blowfish - Cracked Rear Mirror - Vinyl | Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab

I loved me some Hootie. That album was wild in that every Single released from the album was great but every song not released as a single was boring AF.

Basically every single on this album is Karaoke goodness.

Also, again since I did not have cool older siblings or parents, I didn’t recognize the homage “I Only Wanna Be With You” made to “Idiot Wind” until about a decade later when I started appreciating Bob Dylan

That Bon Jovi song that was number 1 for 3 millennia in the mid 90s is high up on my shit list. Always I think it was called. That and the Aerosmith song from Armageddon.

🤢🤢🤢

I give people props if they can get through it without fucking it up. Everyone thinks it will be easy because do the “doo-do-doo-do” but them verses hit at warp speed. It’s a track you have to know by heart if you wanna be successful.

That Diane Warren penned Aerosmith track is good-bad though it’s enjoyably camp. Like Jim Stynam written Meatloaf and Celine Dion songs. They are soo bad they come back around to being good again…right?!??
 
As a kid in the early 90s, the first CDs we had in my house were that Counting Crows album, Nirvana Nevermind, Jagged Little Pill, and Hootie (living in Columbia SC, no brainer). Mega nostalgia for me.

I will say it took a while for me to want to wrap my head around wanting to buy albums on vinyl that came out in the CD era and were primarily bought and sold as CDs.
