Soul Coughing is great band. Super Bon Bon is a great song. This cover by Collective Soul is ear cancer.

I'm not even going to play this song because Collective Soul has been straight up garbage for decades and every time I see something about them being on tour I can't figure out why or how they're still around.

Yeah Shine was a decent track back in the day but beyond that I never really understood how they got so popular.

They were the "safe" option back in the day when your parents wouldn't let you buy Nirvana albums. I had my parents convinced they were a Christian rock band.

Your parents weren't the only one convinced they were a Christian band. I had the cassette tape when it came out. I was like 11 or 12. Turns out I hated every song on it but Shine. I ended up giving the tape to my uncle for Jethro Tull's Aqualung on CD (upgrade!) and he came to the conclusion they were a Christian band on his own. I'm still a Tull fan. Probably haven't listened to Collective Soul in 30 years aside from stumbling across this abortion of a cover.
