Garbage - When I Grow Up

Garbage has quite extensive pop rock song. Some of them has quite weird tunes, but some of them was very expressive. One of my favorite was "When I Grow Up" taken from their "Version 2.0" album in 1998. The song was also the theme of Big Daddy soundtrack. Find the song's lyric here.



The song has many live version in YouTube. One of them is here, taken from MTV Live.



There's also another excellent live version. I don't know from where, but it's a great one.

Cardigans - My Favourite Game

The Cardigans's video of one of their single, "My Favorite Game," was very brutal so that it needs to be censored when played on national television. The song was taken from their fourth studio album, Gran Turismo. You can find the lyric here. The video below is the uncensored video, so be sure your kids don't see this.

Cranberries - Salvation

Cranberries was one of my long time favorite group. The singer, Dolores O'Riordan has a very unique voice that I don't think can't be compared to anyone. Cranberries's video was sometimes unique, and sometimes a bit scary, just like this single, "Salvation," which was taken from their third album, "To The Faithful Departed" in 1996. You can find the lyric here.



There are lots of Cranberries's "Salvation" live concert video. One of them is here.

Stone Temple Pilots - Interstate Love Song

Stone Temple Pilots published their second album, "Purple" in 1994. The album debuted with "Interstate Love Song" single, which quickly became a big hit. Other hits from the album included "Vasoline" and "Big Empty." Sing it along with this funny (weird) video.

Mr Big - To Be With You

One of best classic rock ever, Mr. Big with their greatest hit song "To Be With You." The song appears on the album Lean into It. "To Be With You" is about a man who has his eye on a well liked woman, but she is taken by another man who is mean to her. Check its lyric here.



Check also this video, live version from Mr. Big's concert in Japan, 1991.

Tesla - Love Song

"Love Song" was a power ballad sang by Tesla. The song was taken from the album "The Great Radio Controversy," released in 1989. When the video was placed in heavy rotation on MTV, the song rocketed to #10 in the U.S. charts, becoming one of the group's biggest hits.

The music video was filmed in the bands home town of Sacramento at the former Cal Expo amphitheater. Old 93 Rock banners can be seen hanging in the back ground. Check the song's lyric here.
