...2) Alien - Bush (I saw two Bush fans so far!!!)
...

It's a beautiful rain, beautiful rain....

 

[blueyedpoet]

the bass line in that song always makes me think of 40...which is a good thing...i love finding people who realize that Bush wasn't a nirvana rip-off....Alien is a perfect example...so angela

 

[Angela Harlem]

My god! you are getting better by the minute! I could hug you right now I didnt even realise there was this stupid nirvana comparison til I hung around the bush board for a while and saw a fight unfold between err...most of them and this sap who made a nirvana comment. They spat venom at having to continuously defend bush not being just another grunge garage act and so on. I find it weird. I quite like Nirvana, but for different reasons to Bush.

 

[blueyedpoet]

i do generally try to get better by the moment, and i like hugs so thanks....and yes, i too like nirvana but for reasons that are entirely different
