How these guys weren't bigger is completely beyond me. Both from having listened to them for nearly 3 decades and from having seen them on the 25th anniversary tour for this album. Easily one of the best concerts I have ever seen.
I got fired from a classic rock station and went a collage alternative rock station and said wow , this is the next big thing but music ain't organic cs its planned and around this time baby girl solo singers were being pushed ...gets deeper
RIGHT?? I was born in 2003 so I completely missed the era but in my heart I’ve always known (and been told honestly) that I was born in the wrong generation. Music nowadays kind of sucks... I wish I could time travel to back when this kind of music was most popular
One of my best memories of Seattle was trying to find the record store they were doing a record release for Amazing Disgrace in...couldn't find the damn place till I see Ken and his pink hair walking down the street. I followed him right to the record store.
Reminds me of seeing him just hanging out in the crowd for the opening act on their 25th anniversary tour for frosting. That was an amazing show. Definitely a contender for best club show I've ever seen.
I heard this song today on the radio, and it was the absolute first time I heard it. The radio station was having a block of 90s rock, and they played it because someone requested it. I grew up in the 90s. HOW THE HECK DID I EVER MISS OUT ON THIS ONE???!!!
...Hate being born in the middle of 90's...Hate living in 21 century.Gotta feeling,like I was born in a wrong time& in a wrong place...God save the music of 90's..
This is in my top 5 tracks, of all time! Absolutely beautiful. The album is in the top 5, also!😍🥰😍🥰😍 A friend recorded Mr. Bungle on one side, of the tape and just decided to stick this on the other. Thank you Jonatan Edwards. Without you, I would never gotten to appreciate this amazing band!
I fucking love this album....still listen to it all the time to this day....melodies that are so sweet you get a toothache.....and they knew it too, hence 'frosting' and 'flavor'. Essential.
Arguably the most underrated band of the nineties; and as a Lagwagon fan, I'm curious to as what type of material Lagwagon would have ended up belting out if Ken Stringfellow ended up recording another record or two with them
Even though Ken's personal transgressions have somewhat tarnished this band's legacy, I'll still enjoy this rockin' tune as one of my favorites from the 90's. #RIPPosies
The posies are a great mix of styles, fantastic to listen to, and you can hear every word of the poetry. I just love 'Every Kind of Light', with it's change of tempo from number to number, and it even contains a serious blues song, fantastically performed. It just lifts your spirits. Don't ever stop!
next to Cheap Trick-The Posies are hands down the best power pop band of the modern era! Ken and John's vocal talents are unmatched,which is a huge part of why they are able to play with Alex Chilton and do complete justice to Big Star songs! Listen to ALL the Posies material if you like beautiful melody and harmonies.....vastly underrated!!!!!!!!!
I was a 20-something from MN on a business trip to CA, in late 1992. I had some time to kill and ended up at a music store in a mall. The clerk put on "Frosting on the Beater" and when this song came on -- I immediately bought the album (on cassette). I still have it.
My aunt Elaine married John and the line “red wine sensation” was based on her because that’s all she drank.. They divorced but I just learned about this today and I think it’s so cool!!❤️
I remember the first time I ever heard this song as a kid in the 90's, I flipped out. This song still makes me spaz today at the end of 2012. It's bliss.
I definitely remember watching this when i was about 5. . . my dad had a vhs that he got from a guy that had this, acoustic version of solar sister, golden blunders and the germs cover on it. I just played it over and over! My childhood right here :)
I actually did watch a lot of MTV back in the day, but I'll be honest and say that I never got to watch much of 120 Minutes back then. At least I did find out about The Posies at all, even if it was just two years ago. Better late than never.
First time I ever listened to The Posies was the album Frosting On The Beater, which starts of with this absolute masterpiece. Loved The Posies ever since!
One of my favorite songs of my 14th year. Also loved Belly's "Feed the Tree" which had a really similar video. All you needed was a forest and the rotating cam. 1993.
I actually consider this “pop grunge”. “Power Pop” is more like Cheap Trick or The Babys (they sang “Every Time I Think of You” & “Isn’t it Time”). Neither of those two bands has grunge sound. This song, however, has grunge elements. The two band members were born & raised in the state of WASHINGTON & California ... (Seattle grunge started in Washington state.)
I remember I met one or two of these guys when I was just barely 16, maybe 15 still. They were playing at the university and me and my friends were hesitantly allowed to go. We were just giddy, giggly girls, not attracted to men yet, and just got a glimpse at the disparity between us kids and the older rock n' rollers. Like a brush with danger, exciting, but yet scary, we were unsure why they reacted how they did to us asking for an autograph: oddly, first irritation, then friendliness, and restraint. I guess they were concealing something not suitable for children. Don't think they were expecting kids in the hall. Thought about that on and off for many years after. Just an anecdote. A hazy memory. A slice of life... I still like the song.
