That tune didn't sound fine in its time, now even less.

The boys sure did like them some Bowie.  Here's to the former son-in-law of Steven Tyler. And the former drummer for The Twenty Twos.

Every now and then, a song played on RP makes me want to lift the guitar and figure out how these guys came up with such a gem.

If they'd break it up with Mungo City they'd be fine. but no...play and replay. . . Listening to both you would think Silversuns only had Lazy Eye as a single...so what does one expect.
 
was just in DFW and caught 91.7.  it's really good.

And to think I always thought this was Stone Temple Pilots, another band from the era I didn't like.

i really wanted these guys to be great but unfortunately, i found the rest of the album pretty underwhelming.

  I bought the album.   You're right.

When I first heard this song, I thought: "this sounds like radiohead" (back then 'the bends' was the new release) and "they stole the opening riff from 'telephone and rubber band' by Penguin Cafe Orchestra.

Unfortunately, after giving Spacehog plenty of time to show their true colors, they have proven to be a "one-hit wonder" group.

edit:  I just read the rest of the comments, and realize that I have nothing original to say, except to recommend the Penguin Cafe Orchestra to anyone who may be browsing the RP comments section.  Check out "The sound of someone who is going away and it doesn't matter."

Yes! I don't know that I have heard this song since high school over a decade ago. So many good memories tied to random little radio tid-bits that scatter across our lives. Funny how all those old days come rushing in the door from the intro alone.

That very last swelling note makes me think it's about to segue into Yes - Roundabout.
