Day 6: A song with a great bridge

I think most American boys who were adolescents in the 90s know where they were when they heard:

Dear Daddy,
I write to you
In spite of years of silence.
You've cleaned up,
Found Jesus
Things are good
or so I hear...

Day 4: A song that is unreleased or B-side

Obviously, it's hard to do this for 'unreleased' songs, 20 years past the real height of music/file swapping, now that bands release lots of stuff they may not have in the past. So I'm going with this B-side, which probably in a different time could have warranted it's own single. I actually have a 45 of this floating around here, which was actually the Come As You Are single. And then a while back they put out the whole At The Paramount show, and now I have that too. And this fits so beautifully into that Nevermind-era set list.

Day 6: A song with a great bridge

My favorite nonsensical anthem of a bridge was already taken by @Mr_bogey so I had to broaden my horizons.

Iggy Azalea - Fancy ft. Charli XCX

“Life is wonderful
Oh, life is beautiful
We're all children of one big universe
So you don't have to be a chump”

Ben Folds - There’s Always Someone Cooler Than You

If I could've liked this post multiple times, I would have. Tune.

Great choice, oddly I appreciate pop music more now than when I was younger and tried to pretend I was any kind of cool and Lady Gaga makes great pop music.

Song about a bridge (sort of) and with a great bridge.

Day 6: A song with a great bridge

I know Taylor Swift is not universally loved here... But there are some songs that she's written that just hit me - and so many of her songs have such good bridges. She's a fabulous lyricist. Her songs are poetry set to a melody... She got me through my divorce years ago so I will always be a loyal fan girl.

You love what you love why you love it. And she can write and perform very well. I appreciate her earlier stuff more, but don't hate her at all.

Day 7: A song that deserves more credit

Of all the well-known songs on the iconic Led Zeppelin IV album, this one is often overlooked.
It's a pretty awesome cover of the Memphis Minnie blues classic.

When the Levee Breaks - Led Zeppelin

Limp Bizkit, Break Stuff
It was an anthem for a generation, kinda (hence more cred)

Hardly anyone outside Canada knows of this band, that's a shame. But then it's 90s Canadian goth music so pretty niche.

Day 7: A song that deserves more credit

The LGBTQ+ community has not had it easy in Sweden. Not on the level of open persecution, but... it's the little things. The jibes. The casual phobia. The remarks. In some areas it's systemic. Worse. A lot worse...

Anyway, not the time or place for a deep-dive into that, just some necesarry background. Ola Salo is openly bisexual, and the amount of hate and vitriol his band The Ark received for that in the 90's drove a wedge between them and greatness. Which fucking sucks, because their music was incredible. They could have gone... far.

If you were caught listening to them in school you'd be, at best, ridiculed. At worst, ostrasized...

The Ark - It takes a fool to remain sane

A battle-cry for us Others

I love this song but most people don't know it. How it wasn't a huge hit surprises me

I just love Chris/Redcar, so any chance to share a song of their's I try to take.

To be honest - Christine and the Queens

This is a favorite of mine, too, Grant. So glad you posted this very underrated song.
