Some of their songs are pretty good.  I used to listen to them and saw them at Woodstock '94.  : ok:

They released an album not so long ago right? around 99  I guess. Don?t you is a good song but Far Behind drives me insane, love that song..I find the lyrics very emotional.

 :hihi: :hihi:  OK - I can't truly defend them, but I did listen to them a bit when their first album came out.  I havent' in about 8 years now though, so I guess that says something.  :P

I've always really liked this band. I also like they are one of the most fan and taper friendly bands out there.

For all of the criticism that band received, "Far Behind" was one of the best rock singles of the 90s.  Certainly one of the best of 1994 - it has some terrific guitar-work.  That album had a few other good songs as well.

My hopes aren't very high...

Yeah well they are still recording their 4th album. I miss seeing them live.

That Knoxville, TN show was sooo good. They have their own distinct sound. They also released a best of cd.

They are their own ... check out their myspace page.

I always loved the "Cover Me" intro, one of my favorites.

THey're a good band in all but I must admit don't buy their second album and 3rd album unless you're already a hardcore fan.

If you're just getting into them I would suggest buying their first album cause it's great and their greatest hits, cause then you kinda get the best of the 2nd and 3rd cds.

Lucy takes a while to grow on you. I like it, just isn't near as good as the first cd. Happy Pills (the 3rd cd) is better that Lucy by far but it was the worst selling cd.

I'll be glad when this new album comes out this year. "Cover Me" is such a beautiful song like I said, also check out "Sometimes" by them.
