"In the Meantime" is a classic in my books and I'm glad to find out they had some other solid tunes.
I kinda liked that back in the day—it caught my ear because it sampled Penguin Cafe Orchestra's "Telephone and Rubber Band" (which I only knew as the closing song of Talk Radio—but listening to it now, it seems like firm dad rock. It ain't awful, but I sorta winced.
Music of my childhood is now dad rock?
I hadn't heard this song before, but that sample is spot on. An interesting choice. I still think the song is a bit edgier than your Pearl Jam type dad rock - that falsetto hook, the rubbery bass line, the kinda off kilter vocals. But maybe I'm just losing my edge.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

That's seriously easy arena dad rocking out kind of stuff. I can see a bunch of 40-somethings doing that song in their garage.

The Ramones, Iggy Pop and our beloved Clash have all had their music used in TV commercials, so yeah, makes me feel old too.
God, what a mess, on the ladder of success
Where you take one step and miss the whole first rung

Hello,
We're not old - it's just others are catching up to our tastes.

I actually prefer your take on aging!

fond childhood memories of many of these. don't think i could willingly consume any of them now.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
I'd never heard of this but, lord, what fallen society we belong to.
Oh yeah. I don’t think my parents ever got that, but I did get it at friend’s houses. See what I mean about The Blessed Decade?

Jesus Christ, my brain is firing in weird directions today. I haven't heard or thought of this in a quarter century. I don't even like it. But it's a perfect example of a 90s movie soundtrack song in all its generic angsty … energy?

Never heard of that band or that song. I remember "If Lucy Fell", did Ben Stiller have white boy dreds in that movie? Ugh.
Google turned up little info on them but I did find this one article from right before the movie/"their big break" came out: https://buffalonews.com/news/marry-me-j ... an%20today.
