Members someotherguy Posted May 24, 2006 Members Share Posted May 24, 2006 Originally posted by bassgeek I'm not ashamed! I dig "all star", and never got sick of it during it's 3 year run on the charts!In fact, there were 3 bands with more- or less, the same sound:SmashmouthSugar Rayand I forget the 3rd one..... All seem to have vanished into the night.Like em or hate em, It 's weird that they were huge, but then GONE!!!!!!! I like Smashmouth. My wife likes them more than I did. The problem to me was that their album tracks were not as good as their singles. The singles were a lot of fun. The last I heard of them was the fun cover of "I'm a Believer" on the Shrek sountrack. I liked the upfront organ on that track and a lot of their songs. The third band that I think of with those was Chumbawumba, just because they all had singles at the same time. Chumbawumba's other songs are quite different--wacky & quite British. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I heard that somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members beam Posted May 24, 2006 Members Share Posted May 24, 2006 Originally posted by lug Good one. Loved their debut CD. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stabbing_Westward "The follow-up was Darkest Days. It failed to sell as well as its predecessor, and the band was dropped from Columbia Records. They signed to Koch Records, issuing Stabbing Westward. Before a fifth LP could be recorded, Stabbing Westward broke up in 2002 (2002 in music). Since then, lead singer Hall has formed The Dreaming."

I'm pretty sure as Gwen Stefani who was married to him ditched his ass when charges against him for acts with a 15 year old came up. Maybe he settled?

Members RSBro Posted May 24, 2006 Members Share Posted May 24, 2006 I, like everyone thought of "Live". I still listen to them all the time. Those guys wrote some damn good tunes. I hope it's true a new album is due this summer! Silverchair- they broke up, for like a year after "Diorama", which I loved, and now are "back" together, but don't know if they're recording. Yeah, like every band I listened to in high school- Candlebox, Bush, The Verve Pipe, The Verve, White Zombie (rob is good an' all solo, but we need the BAND!), and i REALLY hope the Alice in Chains reunion isn't just BS. God those guys were good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
