Pretty fly for a white guy. It’s not really a bad song, but it was really overused in the late 90s and early 2000s.

Americana is a great album, but every time Pretty fly starts playing it ruins it for me.

Original Prankster was similar on the next album. Like their label at the time forced one commercial track for a single on them.

I came here to say the same. It isn’t bad but it doesn’t mix up well with the rest…

Album’s just one absolute banger after another, and then it finishes with a song that sounds like someone wrote in 5 minutes while hungover at a music festival

I mean… It is Nirvana. There’s a very good chance that is exactly what happened.

Also: you got the name of the song right? I grabbed my disc to listen to it since I don’t remember that one and there is literally no song with that name on the album. Not even the deluxe edition or remastered edition on Spotify have a song called “Underneath the Bridge.”

Did you mean “Something in the Way?” It has those words as part of the lyrics. It’s one of my favorites off that album. lol

Something in the Way is literally a highlight of Nevermind, but I can’t think of any other Nirvana song that has “Underneath the bridge” in the lyrics.

I think they do mean Something in the Way - and I find it an oddly comforting listen.

Probs thinking of Red Hot Chili Pepper brain crosswire.

Totally relate.

I still can’t help but think that a particular song about Link from Legend of Zelda really was made by System of a Down due to all the kazaa/limewire/Napster uploads crediting it to them back in the day 🤣

Boooo! Hisss! It’s chill and mellow. I think it is a great counterpoint on the album!

It’s probably the most authentic Kurt on the record if we’re being real. Depressed, dejected and broken down

I’m just going to join the dogpiling on you about incorrect song names lol

It’s “Endless, Nameless”, not Nameless Shameless

I love being able to stream, but I think now and then I should still PICK UP THE RECORD AND READ IT

Scary how memories are so elusive. I wonder what else I think I remember that is false lmao

I can’t believe I’m saying this, somehow I never even gave Astro Lounge a fair shake. I grossly misremembered the song quality, there are some pretty good tracks on there. It’s got some cheesy gimmicks, even so it’s worth giving a listen or two at least.

It’s kinda campy. I like that about smash mouth. Fallen Horses though, that’s a great track. Genuinely good listening.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but I never even gave Astro Lounge a fair shake. I’m listening to it again and I’m surprised by how badly I misremembered the song quality

Escape from Metallica’s Ride The Lightning. It doesn’t ruin the album but it stains a masterpiece for sure. The band hates that song as well because they wrote it last minute to appease their record label.

That’s interesting, I never knew the story behind that song. Personally I always liked it but I like just about every Metallica song.

Ticks and Leeches off of Lateralus by Tool. It’s not even a bad song but the aggression ruins the flow of the album and sticks out like a sore toe.

I disliked it for a long time. Now I kinda like it. Reminds me of Jambi.
