Cognitive Dissonance...mostly hate this band...but kind of love this song
There are bands I have a snotty disdain for yet when a particular song of theirs comes on..well..I have mixed feelings.wabi sabi, approach avoidance. Who does that to you?

Jeez, Gail, you're channeling me from about five years ago...I posted this very question on another website. And as I recall, my answer was...don't laugh..."Crazy Horses" by the Osmond Brothers. The slide guitar lick is so totally gozo, and the song is so surprisingly heavy given it's the perfect-teeth brigade singing it, I can't help but give it a thumbs up.

Oh my gosh - did they borrow those outfits from George Clinton?!!
I guess the gonzo guitar riff was actually played on a keyboard. They were ahead of their time with the anti-pollution lyric.

I have been rendered blind by the reflections off of the whiteness of their collective teeth. The horror, the horror.

This is exactly what this thread should be about. Terrific, totally-out-of-character song, otherwise schmaltzy (and caffeine-free!) band.
Every teen idol band should be required to endure a trial in which they wear George Clinton-inspired costuming for a period of time. This serves to inject some much-needed funk into their existence. If no funkiness is attained, their career should end immediately on the conclusion of the trial.

Because they took a vibrant sub-genre like country rock and sucked the life out of it?
That's why I can't stand them, anyway.

Two days after Gail posed this question here to the Tribe, the AV Club did the same: Great Song/Terrible Band
Coincidence?

Spare, mellow, almost ambient alt-country band from the late 90s.
