Great songs by 'uncool' acts



Must concur, this is the best selection yet. Great tune by a completely uncool band, dismissed thusly by my favorite music critic Robert Christgau:

"The Waterboys -- how could they be 'U2 imitators'? They're from Scotland. Pompous as hell, too."

Ironically I saw them open for U2 on the Unforgettable Fire tour and they weren't half bad.

U2 used the song as an intro before coming on stage in Dublin a couple of years ago.....

 
Hahahaha

Admit it, you like it though

I was actually at the filming of the video. Rivoli ballroom in Brockley, New Cross. A mate was an electrician on set. I mainly went along to have a gander at Rachel Stevens
Of it's type and of it's time, it is a very, er, well crafted song. Not sure I'd go as far as to say "like" though!
