Almost every song I could sing in my head.

Which would you say is the best song listed?


You can never go wrong with a STP or Smashing Pumpkins song.

It’s amazing that piece of shite song was ever in the top 100000 much less number 1


The best part of that POS song is the drum part they stole from Soul II Soul...

Ah yes, the summer of every ugly girl trying to look like Gwen Stefani.

Did you see their Tiny Desk a few months ago? It was pretty good.

For me, Machine Head by Bush. I doubt many will agree, but I have always loved that song.


Great song with just four octave chords that construct the whole song.

had no idea that song reached number #1. Always considered it one of the under the radar great rock songs. Almost like the beginning of alternative rock.

Nice way of hiding your playing the meat flute in your band.
I'm secure kid. So much so I dont mind pissing off weak punks who actually try and convince me I should like the buttons surfers. frick off

Believe what u want. The band chose to stay with that name, period. Justify your love for them however you like. Name, title of songs, etc is clear in its congruency

You really think I care where you stand? Being a buttoned surfer yourself probably disqualified your judgement.
The fact that you've checked into the meaning before, tells me tons.

How bout a daycare? Grocery store? Gymnastics team? Football camp?
Where's your line for that name being accepted?

I drew mine, deal with it. No support from me.

You do you

I was listening to my Walkman FM headphone radio outside doing yard work, when Stern show (non woke era) wrapped, the station dropped Pepper as a cold open.

It was like someone had poured Cuban rum straight into my brain.
In a very good way.

Awesome song. Love the line about flying to Los Angeles to see his a-hole brother.
