Watched them perform Woodstock 99( on YouTube) and listened to sixteen stone and loved it. What else in their discography is good (other than the obvious top songs? )

Specifically loved Alien and All night doctors.. Loved the lyrics.

They're a guilty pleasure. I like Greedy Fly quite a bit and The Chemicals Between Us. If you fed every Nirvana song into a supercomputer and told it to use that as the basis for a song, it would spit out Testosterone. That's the greatest Nirvana rip-off of all time.

Unfortunately Sixteen Stone was their only really solid album, at least for me. I liked a few of their singles after that, but Sixteen Stone is a damn good album. Such a shame because Gavin has such a good rock voice.

They're a one album band. That one album just happens to be absolutely fantastic and almost every song was a smash hit.
That being said, Greedy Fly is my favorite song they ever did.

Check out this live show

LINK

Rosdale still sounds great, and it’s got some of their newer stuff mixed in to mostly older stuff. It’s also pro shot (I’ve combed YouTube Red for great pro shot shows, but I can’t see which ones have ads or not).

I’d recommend listening to any concerts with headphones on. It’s almost a necessity to immerse yourself in it to get the full benefit of live over album.

ETA: Team “Chemicals Between Us” btw

I saw them at Rockfest in Ft Worth in summer of 97 with a million other acts and 150,000 people. The whole thing was on M/TV

Bush headlined and i was up front and they opened with Machinehead. I thought i was going to die and they were pulling people out left and right that had passed out.

Actually had a good lineup

Bush
No Doubt
Third Eye Blind
Counting Crows
Collective Soul
Matchbox 20
Jewel
Wallflowers
Sugar Ray

All the classics have already been mentioned, but I also like "Lost In You" which is off one of the newer albums. Typical radio song but I enjoyed it.

Also, Gavin Rossdale had a couple of cool tracks on his own:

Institute - Bulletproof Skin

and

Apocalyptica ft. Gavin Rossdale - End of Me

How old are you? 18-24? You have to be young because I find it hard to believe anyone over, say, 30 would just now have listened to Bush.

Anyway you should check out "Razorblade Suitcase" as well. It was a hit album (though Sixteen Stone is their best and most famous).

Finally, while I like Bush, I grew so tired of them in the 90's that I am really no longer that into them. If you were a kid or young adult in the 90's you'll know what I mean. Bush, Nirvana, Soundgarden were on somewhere in the background 24 fricking 7 and I grew so tired of them all.
