  • they remind me of a hippie version of pearljam.

  • if you like this music that's cool... i guess - this sounds more like blue oyster cult or kansas than anything that is remotely related to "punk". grunge was all about reviving the hippie influenced hard rock of the '70's and had nothing to do with punk or being anything but corporate rock for the masses.

  • <3 i love the posies

  • also the Fluid fucking rock

  • along with teenage fanclub, the posies were a beautiful chunk of pop in an otherwise wasteland of bad music from the early 90's.

    not that there weren't any great bands (ride, mbv, sloan, trashcan sinatras, dinosaur, blake babies, luna etc) but what was has gone down as "the sound" of that era IE: nirvana, stone temple pilots, alice in chains etc. is awful. just bad music.

  • i like nirvana but i agree about stp and aic.

    Big Dipper, Superchunk, and Husker Du were also great.

  • ohhh.. superchunk! i forgot about them,,have to break out the vinyl. they were awesome. husker was great but they were more mid-late 8t's.

    i was 18-19 back then.. i go to bed one night, the stone roses and teenage fanclub are on the verge of dominating the states.. i wake up the next morning and it's flannel every where. it's not that i despise nirvana, (don't like the music) i'm quite happy they fushed the toilet on that awful hair metal of the 80's.. but the sound of that era?? not for me..

  • i disagree on alice in chains yo but whatever. if you like bands like teenage fanclub, ride, and mbv you should check out the drop nineteens. "kick the tradgedy" and "Winona" are my favorite tunes by them..check it out.

  • be nice if universal could make the video quality for the video as good as they made it for their ad spot at the begining. The vid for this song deserves better. nostalgia for sure.

  • the best. enough said.

  • the posies are awsome they just need longer solos

  • Great song, but why did you disable video embedding? We can't post this on Facebook!

  • I know, its UNIVMUSICGRP's fuckin ass!!! I was just tryin 2 see this on fbook

  • OMG i just love the posies!

  • so underrated, one of the best bands of the 90's!

  • great times when MTV really played music videos a great "mtv buzz clip" as I remember with radio head " creep" amazing music videos but less known The Pussys

  • crap? why cuz lil wayne isnt rapping to this? u obviously dont know talent when you hear it!! hope ur future as a porn slut works out for you!

  • Haha, dude, go watch her videos, i was embarrassed for her while watching them.

  • The Posies actually helped soften the 90's musical implosion.

    i actually own a copy of Frosting on the Beater. It's pretty good, this vid isn't bad either the dj

  • Great song. The chourus kinda reminds me of Don't Fear the Reaper.

  • A classic then, and a classic now...a classic FOREVER! The Posies were the real deal, and a supreme live band as well. Go back into time and find the first few LPs "Dear 23" and "Frosting On The Beater"---you will not be disappointed! Don't forget to check out Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow's solo albums as well. They are still kicking out kick-ass rockers! Posies are ETERNAL...

  • I couldn't agree with you more!

  • GREAT album.

  • XDD these guys make me happy!

  • Such a great song.Really melodic...so where does it go from there? Forget the industry; They're the ones that mess it all up with a great band like the Posies. Watch the walls crumble from 4 to 3..."majors"; They write off over 95% of their rosters...*

  • I remember their funny hand drawn show fliers in Seattle's U District when they were still playing coffee shops. This video is a very dated but it's nice to know Ken and Jon and friends kicked out many more cds after their fleeting brush with MTV.

  • i love the posies and sounds lke this, if anyone knows anymore bands like this please let me kno cause i could put them on my ipod and make covers for them cause i love drumming to this kinda sound!

  • @ drummerdude2012 Try Big Star. People often likened Posies to them and later one guitarist became a member.

  • ok thnx!

  • check out the seldon plan, they get called "the modern posies" all the time in the press.

  • OMG, I totally remember hearing this song on an alternative station back in 1993, I was a junior in high school, man I miss the early 90s and good music...what the hell happend????

  • One of my favorite bands during the early 90's....

  • I don't care about the 90's video styling shit - hair tossing aside - this song is still better than most today - melodic as hell and the guitar playing is splendid...

  • love the melodic playing.

  • ...i dont like how the guys are waving their hair like they're some gay boyband

  • still the song is cool

  • you don't see many 3000-series Rickenbacker basses.

    very cool.

  • its pretty good , but most songs sound like bad rush songs... so just listen to rush

  • Actually, they sound like Rush covering Blue Oyster Cult, but your point is well taken.

  • [He] can dream all... what?

  • Badd Ass Band..

    Badd Ass Song.

  • Lot of hair tossing going on here...

  • Windows Vista rules.

  • Yeah man, it is nuts! I checked it out last night online! And they are having an all 90's weekend! I can't believe it. I have been listening non stop. So much good memories. So fun. All of our radio stations here in CO are AWFUL. 106.7 is our rock station, and it is pathetic. Then we have 93.3 and it's all emo GARBAGE.

  • That was a Washington state radio station right? I grew up in a small town Sedro Woolley as a kid, and I loved that station. What was it 107.7 or something like that? What an exciting time to be living in Washington then. Man times have changed. And not for the better. Music is so bad these days.

  • well if you want to get technical, 'Failure' was released a year before 'Bleach'. and imho 'Failure' is still the Posies best work.

  • This is one of the best albums I've ever heard. Every song rocks, and I probably wore out three tapes/cd's listening to it.

  • Great album

  • awsome song

  • Comment removed

  • Heheh. It's funny how much older Ken and Jon look now than they were then... I guess even rock stars grow up.

  • Good! I like you already! :P

  • Besides, the Posies was one of the much softer ones, after the metal in grunge had been muffled into hard rock, and the punk into alternative.

  • you're funny. your page says you're 15 years old and you claim all this knowledge about these bands as if you were there.  anyone can look on wikipedia and become an expert i guess. clearly you never saw the posies live back in the day.

  • Wow, you saw the Posers live back in the day? And I thought you were cool before.

  • Hardly. Nirvana formed before the Posies were really a band (they were just a two-piece musical group until '88)

    Sure, the Posies may have been a part of it, but not one of the first. There were 90s seattle bands besides Nirvana and Pearl Jam, just so you know. Ever heard of Green River? Malfunkshun? U-Men? Skin Yard? All formed before the Posies. Those were the FIRST "Seattle Scene" bands, and with the exception of Malfunkshun (in my humble opinion), were some of the best.

  • Don't forget Blind Tribe and Second Coming - two other "should have made it" bands from the Seattle scene...

  • and all the talent from those bands went on to become Mother Love Bone, Temple of the Dog, Pearl Jam, Mudhoney, Screaming Trees etc...

    i remember winning concert tickets on KISW and seeing Mother Love Bone, with some unknown (at the time) opening act called Alice in Chains. best concert ever. if Andrew Wood had not overdosed, Mother Love Bone would probably have become the break out band instead of Nirvana.

  • All of whom suck.

  • i luv thissong,but the vid is sooooooo retarded

  • Comment removed

  • With Mark Lindquist?? The novelist and lawyer?

  • thats was actually cool, clip is crap but hey whatever :)

  • Holy moly, Jon is HOT in this video ;-)

    I had to say...

  • One of the best bands out there! These guys have ruled my life for the past 16 years!

  • I just realized that you are right with the "Dont fear the reaper" thing... BUT still i think is very different from BÖC, a different kind of psychedelkc music.. it kind of always reminded me of Lindisfarne if anyone knows that band

  • the guitarist - ken stingfellow ???..is playing in REM

  • Stringfellow :)

  • this was a great song.. and a god-awful video.. i can hear dave kendall introducing the video in his horrible accent and fake hair.."coming up after the break the new single 'being simple' from the judybats and and the latest video from thee pohwzies.." haha

  • What the fuck.

  • Anybody know what Mark Lindquist has to do with this? He's a fantastic author.

  • i love this song but hate the vid. :l

  • one of my favorite albums!!!!!!!

  • That really takes me back.

  • The depression is coming so record companies will die and good music from pain and suffering will come along- hurrah hahahaha!!

  • Maybe the blues will make a comeback :)

  • love this song so much...brings back a lot of memories !!! i miss the creativity in alternative rock music from the 90's in todays music !!!

  • amazingggg song!

  • amazing song

  • ahhhh the 90's

  • then go ask history buffs what they know about the enlightenment period. Just because you may not have taken a large role in an era does not mean that you can't have knowledge of that particular era.

  • dude i was a 90's kid... i still remember the kind of music and how it diden't suck really bad like now days

  • Great song, great video, and they're really cool guys in person as well. I think they've been teased a bit about this song being reminiscent of 'Don't fear the reaper' in parts, but have made light of it. They're great live too!

  • I used to love this song! The album that it is from was really good too. Such a cool guitar rhythm coupled with honest soaring lyrics. Brings back a lot of memories!

  • this track is rad!

  • amazing, I just found this band because it was in the songs that Windows Vista includes, lol

  • I could listen to this song all day!

  • Wow! I totally forgot haw much I love this song. It's so great to hear it again after 15 years!!!

  • i love this song and group but this music vid sucks....sorry if that sounds mean....

  • Okay someone help me out. Either i've heard this song in my child hood...or the melody in the chorus sounds almost identical to another song. It's driving me crazy.

  • Yes it's the same for me, It's definitely sounding like another song I just can't figure it out. Post it up here though if you figure it out man!

  • it reminds me of a Lindisfarne song

  • I always felt the same too the closest I can think of is Blue Oyster Cult Don't Fear The Reaper.

  • Yeah. That's the song this reminded me of!! (don't fear the reaper)

  • sorry.....no one sounds like the posies. this song is from the 90's . put it into a time line and figure it out !!

  • total

  • This brings back such good memories, great revival of the 60s spirit at that time, great to be a music lover, great to be in a band!

  • before you talk shit maybe you should learn how to spell and talk the language you are trying to do it in.. dumb ass

  • but are you sure of you are a band rock alternativa??? i'm sure you are gay!

  • ass kickin- great band, great song, harmonies, and the drums are sick...

  • When you consider they came out on the same label and at the same time as nirvana and soundgarden obviously someone knew they had something special

  • Wow this was back when music didn't suck ass!What happened to todays music?

  • I sure hope theres an alterna/grunge revival while were still young

  • The reason why alternative sold well in the 90s was because they were tired of the sameold-sameold. An alternative/grunge revival would be contradictory. The alternative spirit is to create something new and original; not copy the past but continue it.

  • exactly... but most don't think of it that way because the last entire decade of mainstream rock and roll has been a terrible rehash. It's like they took all the good music from the last century and put it in a microwave form... bite sized prepackaged and not cooked as well as the stove could do it!

  • I couldn't have put it better myself. Today's music really does feel prepackaged. Record companies don't care about making good music. They know they can make more money selling an identity or an image. It's a demographical approach to record sales and it's responsible for lots of bland music. As for me, I think we are ready for a post-record company world where independent artists can flourish... but thats my opinion.

  • hm, my comments aren't going where i want. :| i mean to say they ccame on my laptop too..

  • same

  • This is ok... I like I Guess You're Right a LOT better. (Why a THOUSAND blankets? ^_^) My sis riped I Guess You're Right and Love Comes from a CD onto her iPod, so that's where I heard them. BTW, the backup singer looks girlie...

  • I love,love,love, this song..but i just realized you could sing "Don't fear the reaper" over the whole melody line..*heh-heh*

  • Great song. Brings back great memories.

  • these guys were on my laptop's music player when i got it. lol

  • mine too! There okay though unlike the other crap! lol.

  • lol like no other crap

  • me three!

  • me three! i like them :)

  • one of the most under-rated bands of the 1990's

  • Wow, tough crowd. You say something nice about the band and STILL get negative feedback!

  • i could dream all day!

  • one of the best drummers ever

  • sweeeet!! you must play....or just you know talent when you  hear it!! many props to you!!

  • i saw these guys live

  • the fog is awesome and guitar solo too.

  • Power pop at its best. No wonder these guys love Alex Chilton and Big Star.  Great voices.

    Have to agree on the fog comment. Or perhaps there was an uncontained forest fire drawing near.

  • Strings!;p I'm an REM fan and liked his voice much

  • Great Song!!! Great Video!!! Memories!!!

  • oh indeed!

  • The lead singer is HOT!!!

  • this is rad

  • The woodlands set looks eerily similar to the one the Beastie Boys used for the 'whatcha want' film clip.

  • this takes me back. i miss those days.

  • No joke. This song and "Somebody to Shove" by Soul Asylum were all you heard, or so it seemed, on the radio back in 92/ 93.

  • you know what else I miss from these days? beavis and butthead when are we gonna get some new episodes. god knows theres enough crappy music to make fun of these days.

  • you said it right!!  man.....bevis rocking to john meyer would be hi-larious!!

  • wanna see black beavis and butthead? type in beavis and butthead diss steve-o, its new!

  • I love Jon's triple humbucker SG.

  • Great tune, much greater band. Looking forward to the 20th anniversary tour...!

  • off to see them in half an hour! :D

  • I can hear what you mean. Both songs are killer.

  • Jesus, did they use enough fog for the video?

  • You can never have enough fog.

  • wow this is sooo unmistakebly early nineties

    I LOVE IT!!!

  • just heard this song on the radio last night and cant stop listening to it

  • Wasn't Ken Stringfellow once married to Kim Warnuck? Man, I happened across her at the bar she worked at in Seattle and all I can gather from my experience is: "Ken... C'mon!"

  • Cool band - I just wish they would have lightened up a bit on the constant guitar droning to add some space.

  • lighten up the guitar? on this song? are you kidding?

  • This band was waaaaay underrated and waaaay ahead of their time. The album rocks as well. Give it a listen sometime... the title is "Frosting on the Beater". What a great song from a period where we had no idea what was going to happen to rock.

  • california dreaming

  • one of the most under-rated bands in modern rock. awesome.

  • I dreamt I was awake last night.

  • I really like the Posies but has anyone ever noted how the chorus to this song sounds alot like Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't Fear The Reaper"?

  • lmao

  • At least he can change his look, you'll always be an idiot.

  • haha.... true say...

  • the movie sucked your name is even worse, oh god end it all before its too late!! Im better than you~

  • I can dream all day too about the good ol' days of alternative rock. Smokin' on a good one with great songs like this on the radio. What the hell happened. Are we all blind.

    Sleep

    Obey

    Watch T.V.

  • Thing is, I'm 46, and when my contemporaries were stuck in classic rock mode, I was rediscovering music thanks to songs like this one from the Posies, as well as The Catherine Wheel, E, Freedy Johnston, and many others. So once again I'm back among those to pine for the days when music was "good."

  • not really...

  • I could dream all day to if I don't have anything I need to do.

  • Hey, Super Deluxe were inspired by The Posies weren't they...

    If it's a load of shit I don't know...

    But these guys are good!!!!

    Super Deluxe are still better aha!

  • this sounds nothing like drivers seat

  • here come the thumbs down, but i have to agree that there are a lot of similarities between this and 'drivers seat'. i wouldnt go so far as to say its a 'rip off' though.

  • hmmm its not driver sit... something else,... american band... hmmmm??shit i know there are 3 version of this song... whats the other one....shit i 4gt

  • Anyone care to say what the title of thier album "Frosting on the Beater" was about?

  • sure.. I'll step up.I believe it was about

    yerkin'one's gerkin and the resultant jizzilant explosion that results therein.

  • wow this was soo way back 93 when I was in 10th grade

  • Long live the nineties.

  • I could listen all day!

  • Ha Ha! Good one!

  • Greaaat

    Those were the days, when the US could give us something else than Fall out boy or My Chemical Romance...

  • YEA True

  • kinda like the same thing just that style changed ...

  • haha, good comment!

  • I can dream all day too about the good ol' days of alternative rock. Smokin' on a good one with great songs like this on the radio. What the hell happened. Are we all blind.

    Sleep

    Obey
