Thread: Defend the indefensible: Everclear
Just saw a commercial on television for their new greatest hits record. Hearing all their hits back to back like that confirmed the suspicion I always had: the band only ever wrote one song, “Santa Monica,” and then just re-recorded it countless times with different lyrics and titles.
– Johnny Fever
his lyrics are subpar at best like a worn out, threadbare carpet.
– jack cole
the best-of’s title cites the period 1994-2004 and celebrates “Ten Years of Everclear.” I’m no mathematician, but isn’t that eleven years?
– Rickey Wright
Does “They were my favorite band when I was 10″ count as a defense?
– The Good Dr. Bill
What I don’t like about Everclear: When Art Alexakis sings “Yeah-ah!” You all know what I’m talking about.

There were an inordinate amount of really popular rock songs from this era that ended with the respective bands’ singers singing somewhat uninspired “yeah”s – Counting Crows, Everclear, Cake. It was the age of the Lackluster YEAH Outro.
— nickalicious
Cake doesn’t do “yeah” very well, but they do a great “hyah.”
— My name is Kenny
Did the Wallflowers ever do a “yeah”?
— miloauckerman
yes. immediately before the chorus of “one headlight” they do a yeah, yeah, YEAAHHHHHHHHHHH
— miccio
No, that’s “Hey, hey, HEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!”
— Doctor Casino
YOU WOULDN’T UNDERSTAND UNLESS YOU HAVE HAD A WELFARE CHRISTMAS!
— scott seward
Everclear – Santa Monica
Everclear – I Will Buy You a New Life
Everclear – My Sexual Life (NSFW!!)
Great minds think alike! LOL
See my post on Everclear on 4/10. I can defend only the first 2 albums.
