Soul Asylum had a terrific 1993 thanks to their breakout hit. That breakout hit was definitely NOT "Somebody To Shove," a fine rock song but hardly the impetus to a runaway train of popularity.
I’ve definitely found that mileage varies when discussing Soul Asylum. “Somebody To Shove” was always my favorite song on this album, mostly because it felt like a nod to the band they were leading up to this well-deserved cross over into the 90s mainstream. It is hard to explain what a fierce and scrappy live and studio band they were during the Twin Tone and A&M eras. Thanks for the thoughtful take.
Still managed to remind everyone how much you hate Bjork in this post
Every chance I get! 😂
