I write about 90s bands often. I read somewhere that your music taste takes shape and solidifies in your teenage years from age 14 to 18, and while that's probably true, I hate to think that everything I like revolves around my Lollapalooza/120 Minutes years...I suppose I can't fight what's obvious.
So, while watching yet another VH1 shit show, Top Greatest Best 90s Songs Ever or something, "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls came up. Yuck, I thought. Who liked that song? Who liked that band? I only remember the wannabe kids wearing Goo Goo Dolls t-shirts at my high school, like they needed to broadcast that they just didn't get it.
They didn't get that there was a waaaaaaay better song from the 90s called "Iris," but it was by one of The Greatest Bands of All Time (in my humble, 90s-saturated opinion,) The Breeders. Hear for yourself:::
Then again, what do I know. When both bands produced debut singles simultaneously, I thought Third Eye Blind was going to be WAY bigger than Matchbox 20.
