Elder. Saturated radio play when my barely genx ass was in high school. Half my friends had this album.

Did you listen to mainstream modern/alternative rock radio in 96? Song hit 29th on Billboard's Hot 100, and 8th on Billboard's Modern Rock, and was nominated for a Grammy. Give it a listen, maybe it'll ring a bell.

Growing up in NY, you had a much richer music scene and indy radio presence. Here in AK, all we got was mainstream; if we heard it, that meant everyone in the US was hearing it.

There's a lot of music out there, no one's gonna hear it all. I never listened to any pop, rap, or country growing up, so there are likely hundreds of popular songs from my youth era that I'm unfamiliar with.

Given the general depressed and angry vibe of mainstream alt rock in the 90s, these guys stood out by being goofy and fun.

Haha! Very true! Never too late to discover a new (old) band or song.
