| shakitten (Trying to get back into a good dream) | Posted: May 05, 2013 - 15:47 I remember seeing these guys on MTV back in the early 90's. At the time, this was a new sound added to the cool grunge stuff coming out of Seattle...softer, fun grunge that counterbalanced the heaviness of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Tool. Liked it then and like it now. For those in the peanut gallery who are shouting that these guys have no talent, this was actually kind of innovative as the grunge scene was unfolding. |
| kingart (Brooklyn NY) | Posted: Oct 08, 2012 - 13:29 Kind of smokin'! Nothing special, but still it would go quite well with Irish whiskey and a beer! It's on my to-get list. I could give a shit if Stingray doesn't like it. |

| Stingray | Posted: Oct 02, 2012 - 07:29 Sounds like days long-long gone! Like a surburban JOURNEY Revival Band or school-friends! SIMPLETONS without the slightest bit of melody! |
| Gregorama (Austin, TX) | Posted: Aug 06, 2012 - 12:24 I like this. Does anyone know if the album is any good? |
| V12Silly (It's not about the bike, it's about the basket that carries the beer.) | Posted: Aug 06, 2012 - 12:23 i like it |
| lily34 (lexvegas) | Posted: Aug 06, 2012 - 12:22 i think this could have been left back on the shelf in 1991. |
| xtalman (What dimension?) | Posted: Jul 31, 2012 - 08:37 Like a lot of tunes, it is good to hear. I give a 7, but if it was played all the time it would drop like a rock. |
| kingart (Brooklyn NY) | Posted: May 03, 2012 - 12:54 Listenable on the first or first few tries. Then it might be a bit....monotonous. But I like that grinding kick-ass guitar. |
| Stingray ("ANONYMOUS INTERNET") | Posted: May 03, 2012 - 12:52 School-band style! TERRIBLE! How these guys do it to avoid any melody so easily...? |
| Stingray ("ANONYMOUS INTERNET") | Posted: May 03, 2012 - 12:50 School of fish? Why not "A Lodge of Beavers"...? Or "A Shrewdness of Apes"?
Or "A murder of Stingrays"...? |
| NeuroGeek (Just Way Out There) | Posted: Apr 27, 2012 - 07:15 If I had 3 days without obligations, I would indeed consider those days strange. |
| kurtster (Back in Ohiya, for now ...) | Posted: Apr 01, 2012 - 20:00 Seems to an alternate version, which I really like BTW. |
| dstangl (Norco, CA) | Posted: Apr 01, 2012 - 19:58 Great segway |
| snitramc (earth) | Posted: Apr 01, 2012 - 19:56 chuckanut sandstone better not be a bellingham rocker. kugs would not understand. |
| snitramc (earth) | Posted: Apr 01, 2012 - 19:55 definitely rawks |
| kingart (Brooklyn NY) | Posted: Mar 26, 2012 - 13:50 Me like. Smokin' ride-the-bike-earphones-blasting music. |
| xkolibuul (Chuckanut sandstone) | Posted: Mar 26, 2012 - 13:49 The very definition of Ho-hum. |

"Too mainstream!" I huffed. My dad finally got it from the library and told me to read it. Lesson: sometimes mainstream shouldn't be snubbed, Lonesome Dove was a great read. So, lighten up folks. This song isn't the highest caliber maybe, but it's not Boys2Men either. 2nd like |
| timmus | Posted: Mar 26, 2012 - 13:46 Nice song, but when I hear the opening riff I always hope it's "All I Really Want" for a change. |
| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Feb 23, 2012 - 21:24 Everybody in my hotel room loves this song... |
| rdo (DC) | Posted: Jan 29, 2012 - 11:12 Mainstream? Guilty Pleasure? Generic? 3 strange comments. |
| jpfueler (Burleson Texas, (South o' Ft Worth)) | Posted: Dec 28, 2011 - 16:52 I consider this a guilty pleasure. I just always liked it..cannot explain why. Dain Bramage? |

| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Nov 13, 2010 - 20:35 I love this. I love this. I love this. Dancing, creating, wishing I could hear it about a hundred more times (as I drag my mouse away from a kitten who's discovered that the black cord is a fun thing to yank.) Geez - having kittens is a bit like having a five-year-old child. Can't take your concentration away for a single second, or they'll make the mouse disappear, or why in the hell is that dish towel in here? Trying to make intelligent comments on the music, but I have a house full of foster cats, and the dynamic is messing with my objectivity. But I really do love this song. 'Scuse me. Gotta go stop a gang-war now. |
| Sasha2001 (New York F'n City) | Posted: Oct 06, 2010 - 20:11 I seem to recall this track being a favorite of hipster bar DJs back in my old college town. Liked it then, like it now. |
| rpbrown45 (Englewood CO) | Posted: Sep 04, 2010 - 20:02 A few chords, a little drinkin' lyrics, not great but enjoyed listening to it. |
| MojoJojo (Indianapolis, IN USA) | Posted: Aug 10, 2010 - 09:00 8 for the guitar riffs  - 5 for the banal lyrics  = 3  |

Maybe in outer mongolia it was but not where I was living at the time. As I said - college radio was the only place to hear it. |
| Xstar (Florence, Kentucky) | Posted: Jun 07, 2010 - 15:47 Don't matter when or where or how many, top forty or not, this is still purdy solid.    |

I'm not kidding. (I get a pass, because I listened to college radio and the Grateful Dead from 1987-1991, and CDs until 1993, and then I moved to France, where there was a black hole of music.) That said, this kind of sucks. |

| gshrieves (Colorado, USA) | Posted: Apr 30, 2010 - 10:23 LOVE this song! That guitar tone is just incredible. |
