Bad Music Friday: Sixteen Stone by Bush



In middle school, I was feelin' the FUCK out of this album.

There are no words to describe the lyrics for the songs from this album, but I think the closest one is "random". Or maybe "incoherent". Either way they are unbelievably bad. How do bands like this get big? Is it because Gavin Rossdale is so dreamy? Well, I have a feeling that it was partly because of Gavin Rossdale. I don't think anyone ever thought his lyrics were actually good, but I think that post-Nirvana, his voice was like the middle of the progression of the popular rock singing trend that was preceded by Kurt Cobain and followed by that Puddle of Mudd douchebag. The record labels seem to love that shit. Or maybe it was because they had that awesome bald guy in the band?

Anyway, back then (in middle school), it was definitely one of those albums where there were the singles, and they were the only listenable thing on the whole album. This seems to have become a common symptom of a major label product for the most part. HERE IS THE WHOLE THING. DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES? DO YA? After listening, you should post your favorite lyrics in the comments! Yippee!!
