I liked their cover of Saturday Night that was on the So I Married an Axe Murderer soundtrack.

I do! I do!

I actually picked up a (really cheap) used copy of their debut album. Hello, college nostalgia!

I really only wanted it for Happy, Grey Cell Green and Kill Your Television.

[UberBeaver]

I remember these guys. DIdn't they have two bass players or something?

 

[kingofsorrow]

I loved Ned's. Saw them twice in concert, they were awesome. Three of them were hot. Good times

I always remember the 2 bass player thing.

Cut Up and Grey Cell Green are on my mp3 player

Oh man! I have vague memories of watching some video of theirs on MTV in the early or mid 90s and thinking, what an amusing name! I don't remember what song it was. Anyway, I just watched the 3 videos you posted here and I them! Love the sound... so 90s! Even the videos are quintessentially 90s! They remind me a little of Jane's Addiction.

I had the album, but I must admit that I mostly got it for "Grey Cell Green" and didn't really listen to it all that many times, though I've heard that they were really good live.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

alright, I'm not alone!

I think All I Ask Of Myself Is That I Hold Together is my favorite track of theirs...

I liked Kill Your Television and Grey Cell Green a LOT back in the day.

I saw them live. And the best version of Kill Your Television I ever heard was at a Carter USM gig when the whole crowd started singing along to the PA, before they started the "You fat bastard" chant, ah memories....
