This song is arpeggalicious.  ;)  Quite likeable.

I've always liked AIC, and I had a very nostalgic period in my life in which I practically listened to AIC all day long, but it's the first time I've ever heard this and I'm absolutely stunned. Such a great song.

Maybe I'm a robot, or Pavlov's dog, but I'm such a sucker for arpeggio.  Don't remember this one, but sounds good today.

This cut appealed enough that I just 1-clicked the CD from Amazon... that's the good/bad of internet shopping: it's sooo easy.

Were great?  Suggest you pick up their latest CD "Black Gives Way to Blue" and they've got a new one coming this spring... although Layne has left this mortal coil the band continues and are still great.

movement? if I remember right from the interviews I heard and read in the early 90s, every single band (that got labeled "grunge!") hated the label "grunge". and the label was just set up by the music industry to give this a name under which to sell it. the only thing they had in common is, that most of them originated from seattle/washington state and most of them knew each other / were friends?

grunge was more a fashion (concerning clothes). i copied eddie vedder's and jeff ament's clothing style back then *ahem* ;o))

I liked most of those bands, but never compared them. How? They were all so distinctive.

(Ok, no, almost true: I always thought STP (San Diego, not(!) Seattle!) were id*ots & tried to copy PJ and jump on the "grunge" train. (Now I like some of their songs). And I didn't like Mudhoney, too indie).

Alice in Chains were definitely my favourite band of the time. While Pearl Jam and Nirvana were liked by those who didn't even call themselves grunge enthusiasts, AIC stayed more on the edges and you could hear it in their music. Layne Staley's voice was brilliant and the perfect complement to Jerry's songwriting. Stone Temple Pilots and Tool were two of my other favourites. Although I'm still hugely passionate about music, I can't think of an era where I was more obsessed than those grunge-filled nineties...

And let us not forget the Screaming Trees or even Pearl Jam's predecessor Mother Love Bone.  I find that the grunge moniker probably described the who cares fashion sense they all had rather than the music they played.  There was some variation in the noise made by the different bands to my ears.

Wow, this takes me back.  The only one of their albums that survived my 2001 rent crisis was the Unplugged (too scratched to sell), I had forgotten how much I loved this song.

Yes I think Nirvana and Soundgarden were very good also just not as good as STP and Alice in Chains. Not a fan of Mudhoney and I don't even have to mention that other band you already know what I think of them. Of course it is all subjective and there are no best band of era awards up for grabs.

Jar of Flies — No Excuses.  A happy day song, relatively speaking.  Maybe RP will play it someday ...

Double yep. I love AIC, this song, this album, their new singer, etc., etc. I saw them a few years ago and was blown away. I just wish I had seen them while Layne was still alive.

I agree 100%. AIC is the most versatile of the grunge bands. The mellow folk style of this album is brilliant, especially compared to the heavy, dark brooding of "Dirt" (which I also love). Jerry and Layne really could harmonize well. Their songs are often tough to hear, with lyrics about heroine addiction and depression. In my teen years, I credit this band for helping me get through tough times. As I've gotten older, along with the band, I've never lost any appreciation for them. I love their new stuff and their new singer. But this song will always be a classic, one of their best.

 
Thanks for  sharing this with us GrungeP....Great stuff. And absolutely amazing how important music is to our lives.

This band invariably drives me nuts.  Their very name puts a bad image in my brain, so I'm already pre-disposed to hate them. And then I hear their music - notably, this song - and I have to change my mind about them. And then I see the album cover - like "Jar of Flies" - and I hate them again... But oh, this song... Oh, their music...

Geez, no wonder I'm so messed up about them!  This is a good thing, really. I can't just blanket-hate them, because they always make it impossible.

I love this particular song.  Give me a little time to rise above my love-hate relationship with their music, and I'll probably just love it. For now, this gets a 9, with potential for more.

I think this is the one they released on Vinyl a week before the CD.  I brought it to a friends house where there was a very nice turntable and made a cassete to listen to in the car.
