I loved Louise Post from that era.

Happy to, missed that you had already posted Duran Duran. Here are a couple more that I bet you like:

Luscious Jackson:

Belly:

I'm not a big Creed fan, but was blown away by "Higher" when it was released. Like lots of folks, I thought it was Pearl Jam. Can't argue with the hugeness of the chorus, however.

^ Great songs. Regarding Duran Duran: Almost every one of their tunes has a big, meaty chorus. Those guys have always been able to write great songs, and don't get the accolades they deserve. I had wanted to post "Girls on Film" earlier, but dumped it. This video was risque at the time.

I remember this one driving around L.A.

The Cult:

Guilty pleasure, Kelly Clarkson. She kills it at 2:45:

And for those of you that never saw her on AI, here is why I like her so much. What she does with this song is ridiculous, especially from 0:55 on:

Another really strong voice, Brent Smith from Shinedown:

^ The Cult is one of my favorite acts from that era. I still jam on their tunes. I watched the first year of AI, and loved Kelly.

titanbuoy · 08-11-2010, 06:15 PM

These guys were awesome. Great hooks, great choruses.

and amazing viddies

loved this tune...

Damn it's been ages since I've listened to these guys... time to pop a CD in and terrorize the neighbors

Borgoguy · 08-11-2010, 06:17 PM

^"Give It Up" is epic. Don't know the last time I even thought of Talk Talk. Thanks, Titan.

Completely agree, and I almost went with 'Girls' over 'Rio', lol.

Some post-grunge:

Fuel

IMHO, the best rock voice of the past 20 years, Chris Cornell:

Stabbing Westward:

Another gargantuan chorus from a female rocker, Avril Lavigne.

Not too many choices for video, but great song nonetheless...

When is it not a good time to sing:

"Soooooo...you can suck my d*ck if you don't like my sh*t.
'Cause I was high when I wrote it, so suck my d*ck"

Especially part two of this song 'Switchin to Glide' (at about3:24)

Another Canuck band.

One that was popular when I was in college.

2milehighJet · 08-12-2010, 11:07 AM

Almost every song by Weezer.
