This could easily spill over into "guilty pleasures" territory, but I genuinely, truly feel no guilt about this one. It's just a great pop song.

A handful of mid-late 90's bands acts that were on the radio I can't completely write off b/c they all have one song I enjoy:

Goo Goo Dolls - Lazy Eye
The Verve Pipe - Hero
Eve 6 - Open Road Song
Sponge - Wax Ecstatic
Bush - Comedown
Everclear - Heroin Girl
Smash Mouth - Walkin' On the Sun

And this one. Before my wife and I moved to LA we built a Spotify playlist of "LA" songs and we stumbled across this one.



I'm surprised no LA/South Bay punk bands recorded a cover of this one, would have been kinda like The Fall covering "I'm Going to Spain."
