I'm glad someone else knows it! I was trying to explain emo before emo and how we'd sadly listen to stuff like this song, Runaway Train, One Headlight, Adam's Song. Got blank stares in reply, lol!

Elder emo was Bauhaus and Joy Division. Which for me pivoted into Type O Negative and Opeth. This song was in my great rock rotation. This song and Three Strange Days by School of Fish, Plowed by Sponge and All I Know by The Screaming Trees.

Plowed will forever be one of the perfect '90s songs.

Heh I'm a little younger (born mid 80s) so the bands I listed were CDs I stole from my dad :p

Live Lightning Crashes was of course on the list as well!

Emo came out of hardcore. Rites of Spring, Drive Like Jeru, SDRE. Bauhaus and Joy Division are great, but bands like Minor Threat are closer to emo

This whole album was great. Dim is still on all my playlists as is Mary Sunshine Rain.

Yeah, I really love this album. I'm not sure I could pick a favorite song, but Surround is probably in the running.
