No love for The Bangles or the other band I never heard of?
Sure! Since you asked for it !

Finally, Minneapolis band Soul Asylum followed up their 1992 breakthrough album Grave Dancers Union with another winner, Let Your Dim Light Shine. Featuring such radio-friendly tunes as the single “Misery” (you know you’ve made it when Weird Al Yankovic covers one of your songs!) and the electro-acoustic ballad “Promises Broken,” the album also snuck in some genuinely experimental tracks, like “Caged Rat,” making for just the right blend of commercial and alternative sounds. Being a mid-‘90s release, Let Your Dim Light Shine was available on vinyl for only a heartbeat; our Real Gone reissue features the original jacket and inner sleeve art, and comes in a dark purple vinyl edition limited to 700 copies! Co-produced by Butch Vig of Nevermind fame…
This is one of those albums that I vividly remember having that CD cover in my collection but don't rema single song besides Misery.

i know VMP has a version and some have been announced already...
 
And while I enjoy 90s Soul Asylum well enough. It always blows my mind listening to their earlier music. Same to a lesser extent Lemonheads and Goo Goo Dolls (well except, I don’t really enjoy 90s Goo Goo Dolls).
Yeah, in retrospect you could kind of hear it happening, but I remember when Grave Dancers Union came out after their previous stuff and wasn’t super excited with how slick it was. It got overexposed (x10000000) but before that it grew on me. I like GDU and the albums after well enough (though I missed the last one), but definitely a bit of a change from the early stuff.

You can make a legit argument that the Hang Time and And The Horse They Rode In On are superior albums, but I will always always always keep Let Your Dim Light Shine first in my heart. Maybe it's all timing and nostalgia but every time I listen to it it just feels right to me.
 
Getting this simply so I can have an affordable version of Talk Show Host by Radiohead
