Change the title and send the crew down a new rabbit hole, dealers choice @ChickPhilA

Last night I was hit with some serious 90s jamz that started with this classic

huskerkyle · February 26, 2021, 3:58am

And? Thoughts?

I had only heard those three and All These Girls. I thought it was fine but probably my least favorite of the 5 and it’s not likely I’m seeking it out again.

Electro Swing? Why not?

Tristar · February 26, 2021, 11:04am

Yeah I didn’t like it near as much as the others. Just very ok about it.

Album sequencing was always something that intrigued me. In the past few decades of shuffle and singles not sure if many people even pay attention (or listen straight through to an album) but got me thinking about track 3 on albums.

Always felt like the 3rd track was the place where, if not the first single, was a song that really grabbed you.

So let’s talk favorite or great “track 3’s”!

Going back to high school, @ChickPhilA 's theory checks out.

Nirvana “Nevermind”

Frightened Rabbit trifecta here:

“The Winter of Mixed Drinks” - The Loneliness and The Scream
“Pedestrian Verse” - Holy
“Painting of A Panic Attack” - Wish I Was Sober

Haven’t thought about this song in years but it’s a 3rd track

Still slaps!

ChickPhilA · February 26, 2021, 2:16pm

Yes that song RULESSSSSSS

anon3021505 · February 26, 2021, 2:17pm

A 3rd track that saved the whole band for me. Just couldn’t get into them at all, heard this, opened the door.

ChickPhilA · February 26, 2021, 2:26pm

Some other great track 3s

Green Day - welcome to paradise (Kerplunk)

Rancid - roots radical (and out come the wolves)

No Doubt : just a girl (tragic kingdom)

Blink 182 - dammit (dude ranch)

The dead milkmen - Stuart (beelzebubba)

Nada surf : popular (high/low)

Oasis: live forever (definitely maybe) and wonderwall (morning glory)

U2 - “War”

New Year’s Day

U2 - “The Joshua Tree”

Where the Streets Have No Name

huskerkyle · February 26, 2021, 2:27pm

You forgot to @Randy.

Double_Bogey_Dave · February 26, 2021, 2:29pm

I saw Hum play at HFStival in 1995, they were playing as a thunderstorm rolled in behind the stage and I had a head full of acid. It was something else.

JamesHCard · February 26, 2021, 2:39pm

I wasn’t aware the big lad is a fan. I typically get the “who?” response from most people.

Fedorch · February 26, 2021, 3:03pm

For my money, “Stuart” might have the funniest couple opening lines in all of music

ChickPhilA · February 26, 2021, 3:08pm

There are so many lines from that song that are just gems.

And when I first put two and two together that “that Johnny wurster kid” was in fact Jon Wurster of superchunk /best show/mountain goats/etc…

OliveLoaf · February 26, 2021, 3:11pm

Sigur Ros has at least a couple of great Track 3s

Well consider my mind blown because I did not put that together until this very moment
