And the best Metallica 'lightning' record is Diamond Head - Lightning To The Nations released four years before 'Ride The Lightning'...

It’s too late for this although white guy might be pushing me that way for a palate cleanse

All kidding aside, I have never actually listened to a Train album before. I often listen to a greatest hits album in these scenarios to determine a road map of where to explore. By the second song, I was like “oh this is gonna be one of those deals where I know all the songs by heart because ubiquity.”

Then this happened at track four:

I have never heard this song before in my life.

Why does singer dude rap in this?

Also… adult alternative pop. Wtaf?

Edit: Cab explains my question of what adult alternative pop is. They clearly found this on a Rod Stewart 80’s demo cassette.

Re-edit:

Lololololol.

Also, do you think they paid INXS?


Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

My train story is that the lead singer is named Pat Monahan and that was also the name of our local real estate agent (a woman) growing up who would come around giving out free calendars and magnets

Now it’s awful country. Did Ashley Monroe lose a bet?

Re: Train - It keeps getting worse, more cliche ridden and unoriginal.

Wait until he hears their led Zeppelin cover album

 

[Nee Lewman]

Pretty sure I owe a couple of bands an apology. Jeez this is bad.

 

[Nee Lewman]

Oh gawd now it sounds like Maroon 5. What is wrong with this band?

Ummm Train was there first. Maroon 5 sounds like them.

The weirdest thing to me is when they put out that cover album of Led Zeppelin II. I got it for $5 and it's the only Train album I've listened to all the way through, but they tried to sound identical to Zep and didn't put any originality into it. Very odd album because I'd never guess it was Train based on the radio songs of theirs I know.

Whats the weirdest pat monahan line and why is it the line about the hefty bag

Reading about them last night, the lead singer dude started out in a Led Zeppelin cover band.

I have a soft spot for some of Train’s singles. I’m not going to pretend any of them anre necessarily “good” but that doesn’t stop my enjoyment of them. This one is probably my favorite single from them. It’s just a stupid little ear worm that I can’t help but enjoy

I did like the early ones despite not wanting to.

Hey man, "The Way" and "Counting Blue Cars" are undeniably great songs.

Don't forget "Breakfast At Tiffany's"

I dig that Fastball album. Dishwalla pretty much was just “Counting Blue Cars” though.

I remember being in 8th grade, on a trip to Best Buy and only having the money for one CD, trying to decide which album to buy based off their first singles. between Dishwalla, Marcy’s Playground, and The Refreshments. I ended up going with Macy’s Playground. While that album was better than Dishwalla; I think The Refreshments was the direction I shoulda chose.
