Title track was in a Volkswagon ad in 1999. Google came out in 1998. This was one of the first songs I located through the internet.

if you want to sway-dance, listen to this album

how r u?
fn thx u.

Shortly after this album was released Eddie Van Halen put a gun to Fred Durst's head. From article:

Eddie drove that assault vehicle through L.A., into Beverly Hills, then parked and left it running on the front lawn of the house Limp Bizkit was rehearsing in. He got out wearing no shirt, his hair in a Samurai bun on top of his head, his jeans held up with a strand of rope and combat boots held together by duct tape. And he had a gun in his hand.”

“That asshole answered the door,\" Bennett recalled Van Halen explaining. \"I put my gun to that stupid fucking red hat of his, and I said, ‘Where’s my shit, motherfucker?’ That fucking guy just turned to one of his employees and starts yelling at him to grab my shit. ... Eddie Van Halen stood on the front lawn of a residential home in Beverly Hills in broad daylight, smoking a cigarette while holding a gun on Fred Durst as he went back and forth from the house to the assault vehicle, lugging amps and guitars.”

decent band, but nothing separating them from other brit pop

Santana had a huge hit with Rob Thomas in the early 2000s. The song was on every radio station, every commercial, etc. But it was too much. It burnt out all the Santana receptors in my head.

fuck this creep

so much personality. . . if this were a list of 1001 people to have at a party, I'd like talking to this person

life's a bummer;
when you're a hummer

somehow I feel fatter after listening to this album

electro-pop-western 80s vibe

maybe not hitting my playlist everyday, but some really good stuff. the serge gainsbourg cover Jet'm shows some humor, which is always endearing.

changed my myspace profile song to "say yes" when Jen and I started dating.

Don Law's influence on American music cannot be overstated.

I have a strange relationship with Eric Clapton’s music

They're like a cover band of their own band. Talented musicians, but there's something soulless about the music. They're like what Gertrude Stein said about Oakland: there's no there there.

based on record sales, this band is much more popular outside the US, e.g. this album sold 218K in the US and 500K in UK. So it may be surprising for Americans to see any of their albums on this list. But having three Kings of Leon albums on the list is completely unnecessary, no matter where you live.

she fell in love with the drummer

Immediately feel the need to re-listen when I can focus more on the lyrics. Seems like there's a lot to absorb.

I'm negatively biased against aerosmith because of all the toothless schlock they churned out for MTV in the 90s.

But they were a decent band in the 70s.

pusherman getting mellow y'all
