1
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: Everybody Bobby here, and we're now going to count d

2
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: ten greatest alternative songs of all time for the most

3
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: part of their nineties songs.

4
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 2: Also for the most part, this is.

5
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,639
Speaker 1: Not my real hair, and this could probably be confused

6
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 1: as an eighties wig too. But now for the sake

7
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: of this, think of like nineties alternative Seattle grunge.

8
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 2: I haven't washed this thing in a month.

9
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: Don't think about the fact that I just ordered it

10
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: from Amazon and open up the package and put it

11
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 1: on my head right now, although probably equally as grungy.

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 2: All right, here we go.

13
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: Now, before I get into the biggest alternative songs, I'm

14
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: gonna tell you that I did.

15
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 2: Kind of create.

16
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: Statistics, and so I based these songs off of thirty

17
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: five percent cultural impact, twenty five percent influence, meaning did

18
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: other bands almost say copy, but did they build from it?

19
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: Twenty percent longevity, ten percent critical acclaim, and then ten

20
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: percent quality. Is it simply a great song? And we're

21
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: gonna start at number ten, which I think is simply

22
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: a great song. Now, they didn't have a lot of

23
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: other massive songs, especially here in the States, but the

24
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: band is the verve and this song is Bittersweet Symphony.

25
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,919
Speaker 1: If you watched I Don't Know Cruel Intentions with Sarah

26
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: Michelle Geller, you were like, dang, two girls just kissed.

27
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: That's a big part of that movie. Especially as a teenager,

28
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: you're like, what the heck? That's awesome. And then also

29
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 2: this song plays bitter sweet symphony. What a jam And

30
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: this song belongs mostly because alternative music had gotten really

31
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: will go grungy and hard, but this song kind of

32
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: shifted a bit. Let music be a little more cinematic,

33
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: a little more massive sounding.

34
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: That the song is or stroll. The lyrics are personal.

35
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: It's also like just whiny enough to be alternative because

36
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: it's winding about being trapped in modern life. I mean,

37
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,679
Speaker 1: it was everywhere in nineteen ninety seven, and so I

38
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: put this song at number ten because it was an

39
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: awesome song and it was in a movie where the

40
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: girls kiss, and I thought that was awesome when I

41
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: was seventeen years old. Fun fact about this song, The

42
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: Verve lost nearly all the songs royalties for years because

43
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: they got into a dispute about the orchestra that sampled

44
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: in it with the Rolling Stones. Decades later, the rights

45
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: were returned to the band. That's a lot of missed

46
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: out money. So that's a number ten at number nine

47
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: Pearl Jam. Jeremy Jeremy with Pearl Jam's third single, Alive

48
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: was number one Jam, even Flow who was number two Jam,

49
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: but Jeremy was number three and the song was played

50
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: on MTV lot and because it was played on MTV

51
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: a lot, it helped the band get to.

52
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 2: A new level of success. Now the story about this song.

53
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: There was a kid named Jeremy Wade Dell, fifteen years

54
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: old from Texas. He died by suicide in front of

55
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: his classmates in nineteen ninety one, and Eddie Vedder read

56
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: an article about that and wrote this song. And so

57
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: a lot of people still confuse this song is a

58
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: song about school shooting.

59
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 2: It's not. It's about another tragedy.

60
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: And Eddie Vedder did an experience it himself, which is

61
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: another confusing part of the song. But he read about

62
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: it was so moved that he wrote the song. Fun

63
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: fact about Pearl Jam, they were already named before Eddie

64
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: Vedder joined the band. The band had several different names

65
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: before settling on Pearl Jam. And maybe you've heard of

66
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: Mookie Blaylock. If you haven't look it up ballplayer and

67
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: former band name at number eight the Red Hot Chili

68
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: under the Bridge. Remember those ads back in the day

69
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: that said get ten CDs for a penny, man I

70
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: do for anyone under thirty five years old. This is

71
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: gonna sound completely made up, but it was real. Back

72
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: in the eighties and the nineties, companies like Columbia House

73
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: and BMG Music Club would advertise these deals where you

74
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: could get.

75
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 2: Ten CDs for one penny.

76
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: You'd fill out the form, you picked the albums you wanted,

77
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: You mailed the four men, and a few weeks later,

78
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: a box full of CDs would show up at your house,

79
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: all bound by three really strong rubber bands.

80
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: It was amazing. So what was the catch.

81
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: Well, when you signed up, you agreed to buy a

82
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: certain number of additional CDs over the next couple of years.

83
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: Usually it was around five or six more albums, and

84
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: those albums weren't cheap. They were often more expensive than

85
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: buying them at a regular store. But again, that wasn't

86
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 1: the sneaky part. The sneaky part was the album of

87
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: the month. Every month, the club would send you a

88
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: catalog if you wanted that month's featured album. You did nothing.

89
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: If you didn't want it, you had to mail back

90
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: your card saying nah, no thanks. If you forgot to

91
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: send the card back, they automatically ship you the CD

92
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: and then charged you for it. So a lot of

93
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: people accidentally ended up with a lot of albums they

94
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: never really wanted to begin with. But here's why everybody

95
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: loved it anyway, including myself, because I had so many

96
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: CDs from this thing. For a teenager in the nineties,

97
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: it was the way to build a music collection. If

98
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: you did not have any money.

99
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 2: One day, you.

100
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: Struggled to have two CDs in your collection. A few

101
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: weeks later, you had like twelve. You couldn't even listen

102
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: to all of them because you had so many. And

103
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: of course people figured out the loophole pretty quick. People

104
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: started signing up under their mom's names, the dad's names,

105
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: the brothers' names, fake names, dogs' names. You just wanted

106
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: to get that deal over and over again for an

107
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: entire generation. Columbia House and that massive box being delivered

108
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: felt like Christmas.

109
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: It was the coolest thing.

110
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: It was basically the Spotify free trial of the nineteen nineties,

111
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: except instead of streaming music, it was this really cool

112
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: rubber band bound box of CDs that you really couldn't afford,

113
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: and that's where I got this CD, Blood Sugar, Sex Magic.

114
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: With this song the Red Hot Chili Peppers under the Bridge,

115
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: I think there are probably three artists that I have

116
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: seen double digit times, John Mayer, Food Fighters, and the

117
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: Red Hot Chili Peppers. Now, before Under the Bridge, the

118
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: Chili Peppers were just that funk rock energy band, wild performances.

119
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: The song kind of changed it for them.

120
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: Anthony Keatis he had written a poem about loneliness and

121
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: feeling disconnected from the people around him in Los Angele List.

122
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: Another thing that I really didn't know about until I

123
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: watched the documentary on Netflix.

124
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 2: The original guitarist, whose.

125
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: Name was Halel, died from a heroin overdose in nineteen

126
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: eighty eight. So there was another kid who ended up

127
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: joining the band. He was eighteen years old, and so

128
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: John Forshanti joined the band. He had been a Chili

129
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: Peppers fan. He had even studied Hallel's playing style for

130
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: years since he was a young kid. So with this

131
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: song and You're Gonna see where it all comes together,

132
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: he had this poem. Rick Rubin, who produced the record,

133
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: and Rick Rubin of Beastie Boys. Rick Rubin of Well

134
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: named just about anyone jay z Fame got with the

135
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: Big Beard. He said, Okay, read this poem to the band.

136
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: So Anthony Ketis kind of read, kind of sang the poem,

137
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: which ended up being the lyrics, and then John for

138
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: Shanti created the guitar chords in that part ended up

139
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: being the real backbone of the song. You do see

140
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: that in the Netflix documentary as well, which is really great.

141
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 2: So that's why the.

142
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: Red Hot Chili Peppers Under the Bridge makes the list.

143
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: One shout out to Columbia House and then two shout

144
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: out to the Chili Peppers. At number seven, Weezer Buddy Holly.

145
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: If I were just going off a personal taste alone,

146
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: if that was a large percentage, the song would have

147
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: definitely been on the top three.

148
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 2: But I'm not totally biased. I'm only somewhat biased.

149
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: But Buddy Holly was a song on an album that

150
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: freaking rocked my face off, that Blue album, the Weezer album.

151
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: When I was able to see that like nerdy guys

152
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: could be cool too, that changed it for me, and

153
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: Buddy Hawley showed that alternative rug didn't have to be

154
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: dark or angry or serious, and.

155
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 2: Weezer was able to kind of be funny.

156
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: And MTV launched this song as well, because not only

157
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: was it a good song, but the music video was

158
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: inside the World of Happy Days, and there was even

159
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: some footage of the original.

160
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 2: Cast, So Weezer, Buddy Holly.

161
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: You can't see it, but I got a poster right

162
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: over there of the Blue Album. I have a blue

163
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: album album. It's a little repetitive there, but it is

164
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: the vinyl and Weezer was coming to play American Idol,

165
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: and I was on the show for a few years.

166
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: And I never want to bother celebrities when they come

167
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: to do anything work wise. But this is one of

168
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: my favorite bands of all time. It's why I wear

169
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: my glasses like I do. These are sunglasses, but my

170
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: normal glasses are very much Rivers Cuomo inspired glasses. Weezer's

171
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: tour bus is outside the sound stage. We're all going

172
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: on in a matter of hours. There was a record

173
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: store in Los Angeles near the sound stage, so I

174
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 1: go over and I buy the Blue Album, thinking I

175
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: might see them backstage. I see one of the producers

176
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: and they say, hey, you should go over and just

177
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: knock on the bus door. They seem nice, all right,

178
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,599
Speaker 1: So that's what I do. I take my blue vinyl

179
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: and I walk over and I knock on the bus

180
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: door and the guitarist looks out and says hey, And

181
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, I work on the show, like

182
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: I'm one of the on camera talent.

183
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 2: Is there any chance I can get this signed? And

184
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 2: he's like, yeah, come on in. Like crap, that was easy.

185
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: So I got the vinyl and I walk in and

186
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: there are three guys in there, three Weezers, but Rivers

187
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: Cuomo is not in there, and I'm like, oh no,

188
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to get this record signed to not

189
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: have Rivers Cuomo signed the record.

190
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 3: He's the lead singer of Weezer.

191
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: And so they sign it, and I'm just hanging out

192
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: still see no Rivers, and I see in the bus

193
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: there's this door that opens and closes, and I see

194
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: the door just slowly open and a little eye looks

195
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: out and then the door closes again.

196
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 2: But the little eye had the glasses on. I knew

197
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 2: that was Rivers.

198
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: And he said, hold on, I'll go back and say

199
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: if I can get Rivers to sign this, and so

200
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: he takes the record and he goes back and he

201
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: opens it, and the door opens, and Rivers looks and

202
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: he goes, hey, he signs it, hands it back, door shuts.

203
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: That was my Rivers Cuomo experience on a tour bus.

204
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: Very little, but exactly what I would have hoped for.

205
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: And number six, Green Day basket Case. I would have

206
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: thought this album came out before nineteen ninety four. Honestly,

207
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: this album feels to me like it's been out for

208
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: one hundred years. And you could say to yourself, well,

209
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: Green Day's punk, yeah, but kind of everything's alternative that

210
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: wasn't mainstream at the time. And I think this record Dukie,

211
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: which is sold over twenty million albums. I think that

212
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: pop punk that ended up being radio friendly kind of

213
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 1: opened some doors for some other alternative music. But you

214
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: gotta think Nirvana was like earlier than this. To me,

215
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: Green Day Dukie has always existed. It's kind of like

216
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 1: Stone Hinge. There just wasn't a time where this music

217
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: didn't exist. But I'm putting this at number six. And

218
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: I went back to this album Longview, Welcome to Paradise, Basketcase.

219
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 1: She When I Come around Basketcases, the song we're focused

220
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: on here, but so.

221
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 2: Many massive songs longview. All I remember is the baseline

222
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 2: boom bom b.

223
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: Welcome to Paradise, basket Case. Obviously she tunes in silence

224
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: when I come around, When I come around. Awesome record.

225
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 1: But not only that, if you let it play long enough.

226
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 2: Like one of the.

227
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: Real great things about having CDs back in the day

228
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: is sometimes they would put a hidden track on a CD,

229
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: meaning when that last song finished, if you just let it,

230
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,479
Speaker 1: it would just play in silence. We'd just play in silence,

231
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: in silence, in silence, in silence, until all of a

232
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: sudden four or five six minutes later, a hidden track

233
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: would start to play. And I do believe that all

234
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: by myself, sang by Trey Coole of Green Day, was

235
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: the greatest hidden track.

236
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 2: Of all time. I was alone, I was all by myself,

237
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 2: no one was looking.

238
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: I was thinking of you. It was perverted, and you

239
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 1: know how Green Day are. But I think that's the

240
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: greatest hidden track of all time. But at number six

241
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: is Green Day. Basket Case at number five, And this

242
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: is a band that I would say that I was

243
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: never really a fan of. I understood why people were

244
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: fans of them, but it just wasn't for me.

245
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 2: It's Lincoln Park.

246
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: In the end, I put that out at number five

247
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: of the Greatest alternative Songs because what made this song different,

248
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: and what made the band different, is that.

249
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 2: They ignored all the rules.

250
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: Rock bands weren't supposed to rap rap songs, weren't supposed

251
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: to have huge rock choruses. You were supposed to have

252
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: one lead singer, not two. But they both weren't lead singers.

253
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 1: One was a rapper, one was a singer. The one

254
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: that could rap actually did rap stuff by himself after

255
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: he was good enough to do that. Chester Bennington a

256
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 1: great freaking vocalist. Rest in peace. So linkoln Park had

257
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: it all, but you weren't supposed to have that much,

258
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: because that means it was anti any music that already existed.

259
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 1: When this song came out, everybody knew it even if

260
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: you didn't love it, and rock fans liked it, rap

261
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: fans liked it, kids liked it, adults liked it. It

262
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 1: was one of those songs that kind of crossed over

263
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: to everyone, and they did a whole album like an

264
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: MTV with Live with Jay Z. It's awesome. It's still

265
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: one of the better live MTV performances. The other thing

266
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: is if you go back and you listen to it,

267
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: which I did, it doesn't sound like it's trapped in

268
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: two thousand and one. A lot of songs from that

269
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: era feel and sound dated. I feel like this one

270
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: still holds up. Also, this is one of the only

271
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: songs from the two thousands on my top ten list,

272
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: but Lincoln Park in the end at number five. Fun fact,

273
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: Lincoln Park originally called Zero before they changed their name

274
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: and signed a record deal number four. One of the

275
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: big ones here Radiohead Karma Police come. A lot of

276
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: bands have a sound, especially successful bands, a really cool sound,

277
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: and they keep making versions of it, changing a little here,

278
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: changing a little.

279
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 2: There, but they kind of know where their moneymaker is.

280
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: Radiohead always seemed like they were trying to figure out

281
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: what was next before everybody else got there, even for themselves,

282
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: like they would switch it up hard, they would have

283
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: their own fans yelling at them, but that's how revolutionary

284
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: Radiohead was. Karma Police is probably the easiest Radiohead song

285
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: for the average person to listen to for the first

286
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: time and get into it, but it's also the song

287
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: that hinted that they probably weren't going to make straightforward

288
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: rock music forever.

289
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 2: They were going to experiment a bit.

290
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: It was weird enough to be interesting, it was still

291
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: catchy enough to be a hit and.

292
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 2: Make people want to hear it again.

293
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: And the thing that I always come back to is

294
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: how many bands from that era had a couple of

295
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: really big songs and then people really love those songs.

296
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: Radiohead had songs that other bands studied. The other bands

297
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: that got really big studied Radiohead and their songs, and

298
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: not even just the hits, and so fans didn't just

299
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: listen to them. They kind of obsessed over them if

300
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: they loved them or if they hated them, and if

301
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: they hated them, they studied them until they actually love them. Now,

302
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: this came from Okay Computer, which is one of those

303
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: albums that shows up on pretty much every list of

304
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: greatest albums ever made.

305
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 2: And so you can agree with that or not. And look,

306
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 2: I'm not a massive Radiohead head. Here we go again.

307
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: I'm not a massive radio Head head, but I do

308
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: understand their cultural significance. Karma Police fun fact started as

309
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: an inside joke within the band. Whenever somebody was acting out,

310
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: they'd be like, hey, I'm gonna call the Karma police

311
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: on you. Somehow that joke turned into one of the

312
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: other important alternative songs of the nineteen nineties. A second

313
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: fun fact about Radiohead. They took their name from the

314
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: song Radiohead by the Talking Heads, So Radiohead respect.

315
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 4: Let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor.

316
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: I would think, as we're getting to the top three

317
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: songs here that a lot of people feel that I'm

318
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: going to pick Nirvana smells like teen Spirit at number one.

319
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: That'd be the easy one, right, kind of what launched

320
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: it all massively. You'd be wrong, because I have it

321
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: at number three. That's right, Nirvana smells like teen Spirit.

322
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: You could argue it's number one, most do. It did

323
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: completely change the music industry. Within months, grunge replaced hair

324
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: metal as the dominant force in rock music, and then

325
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 1: eventually pop music record labels scrambled to find the next Nirvana.

326
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: It's like they all moved to Seattle to find well,

327
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 1: all the bands that had hair like this. Very few

328
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 1: songs ever can honestly claim they changed the direction of

329
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: popular music. This is one of those songs that completely

330
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: changed pop music, and it's weird to call Nirvana pop music,

331
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: but you have to remember pop music is just popular music,

332
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: and in the nineties, alternative music ended up being very popular.

333
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: So Nirvana Smells Like Teen Spirit is at number three.

334
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 1: The title of the song is from a joke a

335
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: friend wrote, Kurt smells like Teen Spirit on a wall,

336
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: referring to the deodorant brand. Kurt Cobain thought it was funny,

337
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: kept it and thought it felt like a revolutionary slogan,

338
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: so I wrote a song about it later. Weird Al

339
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: did Smells Like Nirvana and mostly just sang where you

340
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: couldn't understand what he was saying. And that was the point,

341
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: because through a lot of this song you don't really

342
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: know what Kurt's saying unless you look it up. I think,

343
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: as a kid, I think I just sangho hind in

344
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: gott oh. I just kind of did the melody thing forever, which,

345
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: by the way, I was a massive Nirvana fan. Not

346
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: my favorite Nirvana song because I don't really feel like

347
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: you can be a massive fan of a band and

348
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 1: have their biggest song be your number one song.

349
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 2: Kind of a loser theory.

350
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: But one of my top five albums of all time

351
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 1: is Nirvana Unplugged and mostly I'm a guy too that goes,

352
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: you can't have a greatest hits is a favorite album,

353
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: and that's not really your greatest hits.

354
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 2: It's an acoustic.

355
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 1: Album where they did David Bowie, meat Puppets, their own songs,

356
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: et cetera.

357
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 2: But a little bit. If I'm picking that as one

358
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 2: of my favorite albums, I'm kind of a poser. That's okay.

359
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: I love Nirvana And number three smells like teen Spirit

360
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: I think about it, I only have two songs left.

361
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: Before I even started this, one of the guys in

362
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: the room said, I hope you have some.

363
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 2: Nine inch nails. Who'd you, guys.

364
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: Say, Allison Chains?

365
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, hmm not the Rooster did not make the list, sorry.

366
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: And number two Coldplay Yellow What a song? Really one

367
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: of the greatest songs in my lifetime period. You can

368
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: be a Coldplay hater if you want. I'm not gonna

369
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: be a Coldplay hater. I'm gonna be a Coldplay respector.

370
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: It's kind of hard to remember how big this song

371
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: was back then because Coldplay has become one of the

372
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,239
Speaker 1: biggest bands on the planet. They've become so big that

373
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,479
Speaker 1: their backlash is big. Like that's how you know somebody

374
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: is so big. Backlash only happens when you get so

375
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 1: popular that it's cool to not say you like someone,

376
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 1: and that's what happened with Coldplay. When Yellow came out

377
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: and that music video hit, my life changed. I was

378
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 1: living in a little rock Arkansas. I could not believe

379
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: it. It was the greatest song and the greatest empty video

380
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: because you kind of just saw him walking on the beach,

381
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 1: but you didn't really know.

382
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 2: But the song doesn't try too hard.

383
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: There's no big trick, there's no crazy production, there's no

384
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: complicated lyrics. It's just a great melody. It's a great

385
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: vocal and a feeling that almost everybody could relate to.

386
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's why it connected so much.

387
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: A lot of alternative music in the nineties was built

388
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 1: around angst and frustration and being on the outside. To me,

389
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 1: Yellow felt very different than that because it was hopeful.

390
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: It was also very vulnerable. It wasn't trying to be

391
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 1: cool at all. It was just honest. And when the

392
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: song hit, it just didn't launch a band, it kind

393
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 1: of launched the next era of alternative music. I mean,

394
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: suddenly there were a lot of bands that were willing

395
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: to be more emotional, more melodic, a little less concerned

396
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: with looking tough and flannel and hair like this.

397
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 2: I mean.

398
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: The other thing that stands out to me is how

399
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: many massive Coldplay songs came after this one. I mean,

400
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: most bands would love to have one song as big

401
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: as Yellow. For Coldplay, it was basically their introduction. I

402
00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: love Coldplay. I did a science experiment with myself on

403
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 1: their second album, or Russia, Blood to the Head. I

404
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: would listen to it every night as I was going

405
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: to sleep to see if I heard it random times

406
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 1: during the day would make me sleepy.

407
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 3: It didn't.

408
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: I heard it at Kroger once in the meat aisle,

409
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: and I did not think about going to sleep. The

410
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: title kind of came by accident during recording. The band

411
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: was looking at the sky at night, and a nearby

412
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 1: object that happened to be yellow inspired the name, and

413
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: so they said, let's let's.

414
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 2: Do the song Yellow with all the same meaning and emotion.

415
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 2: We're now at number one.

416
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to my guys sitting behind the table here.

417
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: I've listed a lot of songs. What do you think

418
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: my number one song is going to be?

419
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 3: How You Remind Me nickelback.

420
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: Almost It came in at seven hundred and nineteen. Bummer,

421
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: what do you think is mine?

422
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 2: Or what would you put it? One?

423
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 3: Oh man, that's a tough one. That is a really

424
00:22:58,960 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 3: tough one.

425
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 2: Mmm, he's thinking about it. He got his finger over

426
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 2: his lips.

427
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 3: The Green Day, the Green Day one was was up

428
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 3: there for me.

429
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 2: Like too high?

430
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 3: No, I was Green Day was like number one for me.

431
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 3: So you hit you hit that one on the on

432
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 3: the head for sure.

433
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 2: What about the argument that it's punk not alternative.

434
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 3: No, there's It was just as mainstream as all the

435
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 3: other stuff at the time. So what is your number one?

436
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: So you're not gonna guess anything else. Dylan's too young.

437
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 1: Dylan was born like four years ago.

438
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 5: And I feel like you guys have known each other

439
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 5: for a decade.

440
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. I thought the number one song is

441
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 2: from nineteen ninety one my list.

442
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: The number one song is not a repeat of any

443
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: band that I have listed so far. The number one

444
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 1: song focused on an instrument that isn't often focused on

445
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: in alternative music. I would say this instrument is more

446
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 1: focused on in bluegrass music.

447
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 3: Oh wait, talking about.

448
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 1: The mandolin, I'm talking about the mandolin, mandolin. My number

449
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: one song is focused on the mandolin, and it is iris.

450
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 5: No.

451
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 2: No, if it was Google Doll's Iris, its not like

452
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 2: that song.

453
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 3: You should just turn this off. I was gonna say

454
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 3: this off and go. That's only what I can think

455
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 3: of right now that that had mandolin in it.

456
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: Think about a band from Georgia. Think about a band

457
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: that other alternative bands look at as their inspiration. Kurt

458
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: Cobain even credited this band with being an inspiration to

459
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: never changing who you are and to continue experimenting. Think

460
00:24:55,440 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: about Athens, Georgia. I'm shocked, Brandon that you even when

461
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: I say Athens Georgia, it's not coming to you.

462
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 2: Widespread. They were not widespread. Panic. No.

463
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 1: This band had so many hits, but this one is

464
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 1: the one that launched them because it was played on

465
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: MTV so much. This band had a guy that I

466
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: really didn't know is having hair, but had hair in

467
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: the video and didn't have hair the rest of his career.

468
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 2: To me, keep going, keep going. The band is rim

469
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 2: The song is losing my religion.

470
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 3: Oh that's such a good one.

471
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: Nineteen ninety one. If you're trying to explain alternative music

472
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 1: to somebody in one song. It gets no more alternative

473
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: than this because this was before alternative music really became

474
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: so easy to package is grunge and you know, guitar tones.

475
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: This should not have worked. It was built around a mandolin.

476
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: Losing My Religion helped make popular alternative music popular. And

477
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: again this video, Michael Stipe had hair that was crazy

478
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: to me because I really only know Michael Stipe other

479
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: than this video and maybe shiny happy people looking at

480
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: it back in time as being bald. And the song

481
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: is not actually about religion. If you're from the South,

482
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: you may have heard that before Losing my Religion. It

483
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: is very much a Southern expression meaning you're kind of

484
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 1: at the end of Europe, you're losing your patients that

485
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 1: type thing. So number one is the most alternative, yet

486
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: least alternative based on what we've learned. It is ram

487
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: losing my religion.

488
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 3: Yes, Brandon, I can't believe I didn't connect those dots.

489
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 2: I feel like I walked it to it.

490
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:52,360
Speaker 3: You did, And I have to admit I was very

491
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 3: I was so I was born in like eighty seven, Okay,

492
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 3: so first time I saw this video I was probably five,

493
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 3: and it's scared me for some reason when he was like,

494
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 3: that's me in the corner, that's me on the spot,

495
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 3: and he's like kind of like in the dark, and

496
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 3: like like, I don't know.

497
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let you use your age as an

498
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: excuse because you are one of the better musicians that

499
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: I know, and you've written with pretty much. Have you

500
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: written Michael Stipe? I wish have you written with Bill Barry? No, okay,

501
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: I'll let it pass, okay.

502
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 3: But what I love about Arium as I grew as

503
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 3: I grew up, and I didn't even realize it focused

504
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 3: around the mandolin. That's so funny.

505
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 2: That's a mandolin.

506
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 3: I don't even think about that. But as I got older,

507
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 3: I respected Arim so much more, you know, like, uh,

508
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 3: it's the end of the world as we know it.

509
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 3: Like they they I realize, like, oh, they're like capable

510
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 3: of everything.

511
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: A very culture driven song, which you know that song

512
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: incorporates a lot of Andy Kaufman, you know, Andy Coffin dying.

513
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 2: They use that in the movie that Jim Carrey did.

514
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: About Andy Kaufman. What was that called my favorite movie ever?

515
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: Man on the Moon, Man on the Moon, Thank you

516
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: very much. The name of the song too, Thank You.

517
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:15,479
Speaker 3: Athens, Georgia.

518
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 2: Did I say that? I think I said Adams Losing

519
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 2: my religion?

520
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 1: Everybody hurts. Who's crawling on top of all the cars

521
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: on the highway when the day is gone?

522
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 2: And then I.

523
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: Played that song so much when I was like alone

524
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 1: and a loser, which is most of my life.

525
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 2: Shiny happy people, man on the moon. Yeah, it's the

526
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 2: end of the world.

527
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: This one goes out to the one eye Jam Drive

528
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: Orange Crush.

529
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 2: Once.

530
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: I went to an r em ACL live taping, so

531
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: it was back whenever. They had it on the campus

532
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: at the University of Texas, so there were probably eighty

533
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: people in there, and they only played their brand, brand,

534
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: brand new album at the time, and they played no hits.

535
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: I wanted to stab my eye out with a fork.

536
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: They were also playing the ACL Music Festival and I

537
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: went to that and they only played their new album

538
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: no hits. If I'd had eyes left after the first stabbing,

539
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: I would have stabbed my eyes out with a fork

540
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: for the second. But my number one alternative song of

541
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: all time ram Losing My Religion. Now I did have one.

542
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: It was honorable mentioned.

543
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 3: Is this right here?

544
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 2: Let me show you this for those that aren't watching

545
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 2: on Netflix. This is a It's a canvas and on

546
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 2: it looks like a smushy circle and it's signed at

547
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 2: the bottom. Can you guys see that in the frame.

548
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: So this is the music file of County Crows mister Jones,

549
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: smushed up into a circle, and then Adam Durrett signed it.

550
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: And I have this because I bought it because I'm

551
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: such a Counting Crows fan. I never really hung it anywhere,

552
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: so it's just kind of square and weird, but I

553
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: put County Crows mister j It's a number eleven, just

554
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: because I love the count grow so much.

555
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 2: That's right.

556
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: And google Doll's iris since you guys thought that could

557
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: possibly be the number one alternative song because of Mandlin.

558
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 2: That's the only reason that's it. Thank you everybody. Those

559
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 2: are my top ten alternative songs ever.

560
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: And if you're new and you're watching this for the

561
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: first time, this is not my real hair. I suggest

562
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: you go back a couple episodes and see what my

563
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: real hair looks like, because it is a treat. I

564
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: got good hair. I just thought i'd wear this for

565
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: this show today. I could also repurpose this for ever

566
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: do like, whoa big thunder. We're about to have a storm,

567
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna get out of here. That was my

568
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: name in college, by the way, Big Thunder. Yeah, all right,

569
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: big Thunder and little Thunder. We're out of here.

570
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 4: Let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor,

571
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 4: and we're back on the Bobby Cast.

572
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: Okay, we're off Netflix now, and so now we'll talk

573
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: about the list. How did you feel about my selection

574
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: of Rim Losing my Religion is the number one greatest

575
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: alternative song of all time?

576
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that's definitely your thing, Like, that's yours.

577
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 5: I mean, it's not the greatest of all time, but

578
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 5: it's yours.

579
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 2: But there is no greatest of all time.

580
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 5: You're kidding me, of course there is.

581
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 2: But there is no greatest of all time. Meaning that's

582
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 2: not a trophy that you can give something based on

583
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 2: any sort of hard factor data. It's all right, opinion, right.

584
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 5: It is.

585
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 2: It is.

586
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 5: And I think RAM would be in the back of

587
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 5: a lot of people's minds because I don't know. I

588
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 5: just feel like there are diehard Rim fans, but I

589
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 5: don't think anyone immediately goes to Ram as being the

590
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 5: number one all time alternative.

591
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 2: I think because people don't understand the root of alternative music.

592
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 5: You're right, You're right, yeah, And I don't think I

593
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 5: do either. Like to me, alternative music, I don't even

594
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 5: know where it started, Like, is grunge alternative? Yes, so

595
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 5: anything before grunge have been or guns n' Roses is

596
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 5: guns and Roses alternative?

597
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: That was metal, Yeah, that was actual metal. Like they

598
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: only named things after they became popular, so they didn't

599
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: have a name for it, and then people fit into it.

600
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: A sound becomes popular and.

601
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 2: Then for example, yacht rock, yeah, and that happened way later,

602
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 2: but that sound existed with all that music, and then

603
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 2: way later they were like, we'll just call this yacht

604
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 2: rock now without as big a time gap. The same

605
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 2: thing happened with alternative music.

606
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 5: And then where does it end in your mind? Because

607
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 5: like I feel like it could keep going all the way.

608
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: To it also has to be alternative from what the

609
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: mainstream is, which is why that name existed. It was

610
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: alternative from the guitar rock that was happening, the hair

611
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: band and it was absolutely alternative from any sort of

612
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: pop music for sure.

613
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 2: So that's where the label came from. And I think alternative. Probably,

614
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 2: I think.

615
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 5: It's still do you think it's still there?

616
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: I think now though, it is just so ever present

617
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: that if you're just a little different, it can be

618
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: called alternative. There's even country music that's alternative.

619
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 4: H h.

620
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 5: It's just funny because my kids call it like Dad's music.

621
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Like we talked about dad rock in another.

622
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: Episode alternative is Dad's music. I thought some people would go,

623
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: h I am. And I like putting it at number

624
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: one because I think even Kurt Cobain credited Michael Stipe

625
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: for not like the guitar tone, but for the idea

626
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: of how different you can be and to stay committed.

627
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: Because never Mind wasn't their first album like I had

628
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: all so, I wasn't a Nirvana fan prior to never Mind.

629
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 2: I was a child. I was eleven and then I

630
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 2: came out.

631
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 5: And it was hard to discover music like that on

632
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 5: your own.

633
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: But I became a massive Nirvana fan of the music

634
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: prior to Nevermind. After I learned Nirvana and would listen

635
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: to the Bleach all those records, I'd find them, yeah,

636
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: or we download them on Napster.

637
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 5: Were you ever part of the bootleg culture.

638
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 2: The culture of Napster where you could get every eating

639
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 2: bootleg on a download.

640
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 5: See this was before I was part of the male bootleg.

641
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 5: Oh no, I wasn't like I will trade you my

642
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 5: bootleg for your bootleg of what bands? Pearl Jam and

643
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 5: they were all live, live shows from their very first

644
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 5: show in Seattle in nineteen ninety one, nineteen ninety to

645
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 5: all the way to you know, like two thousands.

646
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,919
Speaker 1: What would you have put as the number one alternative song?

647
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: I should say the greatest alternative song of all time.

648
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 5: I would put it have to be Pearl Jam for me.

649
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 2: You're not going to be wrong, I.

650
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 5: Know, but there's a lot of pressure because a lot

651
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,240
Speaker 5: of really good alternative songs out there. I would put

652
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 5: Jeremy A live Pearl.

653
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: Jam so alive didn't make my list, but I love

654
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 1: that Pearl Jam major list, but Jeremy did.

655
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I loved how you described Jeremy. You were

656
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 5: spot on. You nailed it. Did you have to do research?

657
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:50,439
Speaker 5: Did you know that was af from the dome?

658
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: It was only partly from the dome. If you were

659
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 1: to ask me, I think I would have messed up

660
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: with some of those facts. I knew it wasn't a

661
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:57,720
Speaker 1: school shooting.

662
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people thought it was I

663
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 2: think I only didn't know that because you told me

664
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 2: that at one point.

665
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: But everything was research. So I go from the dome

666
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: on my list, and then I just want to make

667
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: sure I'm saying things right through research.

668
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,959
Speaker 5: So it's crazy because like when I first started listening

669
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 5: to Pearl Jam, I listened to all these songs and

670
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 5: just loved them for what they sounded like. It wasn't

671
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 5: ntil later and then I just kind of did research

672
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 5: on like, well, what does that even mean? Like Jeremy

673
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 5: spoke in class today, and then you started, you know,

674
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 5: really kind of deep diving into it, and like, dang,

675
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 5: that's deep stuff. Alive is deep, but well, I don't know.

676
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 2: I didn't go into that.

677
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 5: Live is not knowing his real his dad that he

678
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 5: thought was his dad is not his real dad?

679
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:36,760
Speaker 2: Is that true?

680
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 5: Yeah? And then and then once finding that out, deciding

681
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 5: whether you're gonna you want to still live?

682
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 2: I'm still is it still a life? I'm still alive?

683
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 5: Yeah you should.

684
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 2: You should go back and listen to it knowing that, Yeah,

685
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 2: I think it would hit different.

686
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 5: It would definitely hit different. And then daughter too, I

687
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 5: mean daughter is no call.

688
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,919
Speaker 2: Me daughter, don't daughter. I never know words, so it's

689
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 2: don't call me daughter, not fair too, not fair? Oh

690
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,240
Speaker 2: that's what it says. Yeah, yeah, why what's that about?

691
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 5: So it's about a dad who's sexually assaulting his own

692
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 5: child and the child saying like, you don't deserve to

693
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 5: call me daughter.

694
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,399
Speaker 2: I did not know that, did you know that?

695
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 5: No idea? So much of Pearl Jam. There was even

696
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 5: one that's like a later song. It's called I Got Id,

697
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 5: I Got ID and I Again And I just found

698
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 5: this out through a TikTok video of that song was

699
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 5: written in the perspective of one of his stalkers, one

700
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 5: of Edievedder stalkers. Dude, I mean the writing is so good.

701
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 5: Once you understand that, it's like, oh this is a

702
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,439
Speaker 5: different Wow, this is a deep song.

703
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're a massive Pearl Jam fan.

704
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 5: I love Pearl Jam. I love Eddie Vedder. I loved

705
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 5: just the way he writes and how he sounds when

706
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 5: he sings. I love the whole thing for you to.

707
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 2: Put Pearl Jam alive alive at once.

708
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I talked about it, but their first single

709
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: ever from that album was.

710
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 5: The very first single was alive. I feel like I

711
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 5: think too alive, then jorm me and then even flow.

712
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 2: No even second.

713
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 5: Okay, because you did say this in the video.

714
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 2: Yeah I did, and that yeah yeah yeah.

715
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 5: Because dude, we were so young when all that happened. Like,

716
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 5: as far as singles come, when they came out, I

717
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:23,879
Speaker 5: had no idea.

718
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 2: Hey, Mike, how'd you feel about putting Green Day and

719
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 2: uh like I have a basketcase in the top ten

720
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 2: as one of the greatest alternative songs ever. You're a

721
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 2: punk guy, though.

722
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 6: Yeah, I see it more as a punk song. I

723
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 6: don't see them as an alternative band.

724
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 2: Don't you feel that their brand of pop punk, though,

725
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 2: was so alternative because it went mainstream. Yeah, I guess.

726
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 6: Since it went so mainstream and they adds up on

727
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 6: the radio, I could see where you classify it as alternative.

728
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 6: But to me, they're a punk rock band through and

729
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 6: through me too, by the way, I think they are

730
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 6: a pun Agreed.

731
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 2: I think they're a punk band as well.

732
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: But I guess with my whenever I was like making

733
00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: my list, if you did music to guitar, you made

734
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: rock songs and they became wildly popular. It was alternative

735
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: of what was being played that to me was alternative.

736
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: It really wasn't a vocal style, a guitar tone from Seattle.

737
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: So but I can understand when people will go, well,

738
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: green Day not alternative. I guess for the requirements of

739
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: my stupid list. How they did it and what they

740
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: did felt like alternative, and it was played alternative radio.

741
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, And then you look at the name alternative, right,

742
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 5: it's an alternative to what was being played.

743
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 2: In pop music and metal and guitar music. Sure, because

744
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 2: it was alternative hair metal.

745
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 5: At the beginning, yes, but even like later on, because

746
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 5: even talking about Coldplay, it's like Coldplay was an alternative

747
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 5: sound to what was happening at that time. Because Green

748
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 5: Day was an alternative sound.

749
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,839
Speaker 1: People will look at Coldplay and go, that's alternative. That's

750
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: like hot a C that's like easy listening.

751
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 5: Now.

752
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 2: At the time when Coldplay came out, it was definitely

753
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 2: more say like symptomatic even I want to say orchestral,

754
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 2: but they had a lot of instruments.

755
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 5: It was hard to describe it was.

756
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: It was soft at times, so it almost was if

757
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 1: you had more than three soft songs, you can't be

758
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: alternative because every alternative record just I had like one ballance, right.

759
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,399
Speaker 2: You couldn't really do it more maybe two? But yeah,

760
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 2: Coldplay was an alternative band.

761
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 5: I remember listening to the radio and I was in

762
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 5: like Houston at the time, and they were playing the

763
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 5: Strokes last Night, and then right after that was Yellow

764
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 5: and I remember specifically thinking, what what is this?

765
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 2: Like?

766
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 5: Hold on like whatever this sound is, it's different and

767
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:40,879
Speaker 5: I like it.

768
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 2: It was a whole shift.

769
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:46,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like de verve bittersweet symphony, same deal,

770
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: complete shift. Does it sound soft now? But it was

771
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 1: rock but done again with orchestral instruments, and.

772
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 5: And that's how I felt too. Mike with Green Day,

773
00:39:58,160 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 5: same kind of feeling. When I heard basket Case for

774
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 5: the first time, it was just like, what that's so different?

775
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 5: What is that? You had?

776
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,760
Speaker 1: The hidden try with their harmonies. I was not by myself,

777
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: no one was looking. I was thinking of you did.

778
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,399
Speaker 5: You discover this is my favorite on those because people

779
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 5: don't understand, like the kids don't understand hidden tracks on CDs,

780
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 5: which it's cool that they still have them on streaming.

781
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 5: So if you do stream that last song on the hidden.

782
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,719

00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 5: was the end of our CD, and you sometimes you

787
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 5: would discover it because saying like, oh wow, that's seventeen

788
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 5: many we just.

789

Speaker 2: Let it play. You forget to turn at all, or

790
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 2: that thing would start.

791
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 5: Do you remember if you discovered I was all by myself,

792
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 5: or did somebody.

793
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:48,879
Speaker 2: Tell you My cousin had my older cousin, I didn't

794
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 2: know that well, remember being in his house and he

795
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 2: had the album and he said, there's a song on

796
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,399
Speaker 2: after the last song, and he would like push fast

797
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 2: forward down halfway, not full way, so you could fast

798
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 2: forward to CDC, wish it all the way, skipped the

799
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 2: next track, and if you sold it down a little bit,

800
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 2: it would hear the go fast forward and then it

801
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 2: came on same.

802
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 5: I had a friend of mine tell me about it.

803
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 2: Mike, would you have put a number one on the list?

804
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 6: I had to put Foo fighters ever long?

805
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 2: And I love food fighters. Yeah, and that wouldn't be wrong.

806
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 5: That's they're so impressive because just the idea of that.

807
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 5: Dave Groll was part of the beginning of alternative and

808
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 5: is now still part of alternative, still making music to

809
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 5: the highest level. It's pretty impressive.

810
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 2: Why would you have picked that song, Mike?

811
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 6: I think that's the best alternative rock song ever made.

812
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:39,839
Speaker 6: Like every time I hear that song, it puts me

813
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 6: in a good mood. And they play that like every night,

814
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 6: and they crush it every single night.

815
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it was like the sixth drummer for

816
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 2: I didn't know that really. I think turnover was high

817
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 2: in those bands. Yeah, first when you're making no money

818
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:56,839
Speaker 2: and you're driving.

819
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 5: Around Parljium had had a drummer problem. They still have

820
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 5: a rummer problem. They just fired their drummer, or didn't

821
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 5: fire him, he quit And they're now in the process

822
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 5: of hiring a new drummer. At age what are how

823
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:08,280
Speaker 5: old are they they're almost sixty.

824
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 2: Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins died.

825
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 5: I know who is their current drummer.

826
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: Well, they got a guy and then he ended up

827
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: quitting too, like a prolific drummer that played with a

828
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: lot of other bands.

829
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:17,240
Speaker 5: Josh Free.

830
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,879

00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 1: out too.

832
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,240
Speaker 2: But I didn't put any smashing bunkins.

833
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 5: In that's so such a big part of alternative music.

834
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 5: Battled it.

835
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:28,600
