Wow this thread is a blast from the past....back to about 6th or 7th grade...
16stone was the first CD I ever bought. I had some cassette albums (yes, PJ was in that group -- but I wanted something I didn't have), but for some reason it seemed like a huge deal to have saved up my money for a stereo and then to buy a CD for it.
I liked that album and still like a few songs from it...Everything Zen, Comedown, Machine Head, Testosterone, Glycerine. I got Razorblade Suitcase when it came out, but was fairly disappointed with it. I still have both of those albums, but it's probably been 8 years or so since I've listened to either. After Razorblade, I stopped following them and stopped buying their albums...
these guys were undeniably the best at completely gibberish lyrics... they put dr seuess to shame.
"mickey mouse has grown up a cow"
what the fuck does that mean?
I always thought it could have been some kind of pun on Mickey Mouse becoming sacred or idolized or something like a cow in India. Perhaps I am giving the lads too much credit for the depth of their lyrics, though.
"You're an alien......I'm an alien.......its a beautiful rain....beautiful rain...."
Certainly Rossdale is the worst lyricist of the 90s.
"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

i won't argue that. but then, a good chunk of rock music isn't exactly poetry. i never could figure out what a single nirvana song was supposed to mean.
bush was among the worst ever though, no doubt. they were fun though.
I still like this song, probably the only one of the Bush songs that get played on the radio that I don't flip the station.
I actually heard it this morning
In Canada, they were called Bush X
I remember them being called Bush X here... I bought "sixteen stone" though while I was in the USA( I have NO idea why I remember that ) so it just said Bush. Oh yeah I am cool :rolleyes:
They have like three good songs but after that... meh but man I used to think Gavin was all that and a bag of chips

when i was in junior high i used to tell my friend that bush was WAY better than some old fart's band like his fav group: the beatles
"blood is like wine, unconscious all the time" Eh?
Minus points for having a singer called Gavin.
"Glycerine, don't let the days go by, Glycerine/" Glycerine?
Their popularity wasn't only due to american girls salaciously drooling over the singer. Sixteen Stone wasn't so bad at all, I preferred it to most britpop I heard at the time, but, as kinda made clear, lyrics that kad meaning would have taken them further.
Comments
The band broke up when Nigel and Gavin decided to part ways
Gavin is writing some love songs....thats what happens when you get married and have 2 kids
The ONLY thing better than a glass of beer is tea with Miss McGill
A protuberance of flesh above the waistband of a tight pair of trousers
Everything's Zen

apparently, 07162056 is THE date...
definitely. I think that was the main reason I liked them back in the 90s.
