The Posies - Dream All Day

[@ikhnaton]

I used to work in a store selling guitars for 10 years in France, Jon was a regular customer. Great guy and great guitar player !

[@joshporter5205]

How these guys weren't bigger is completely beyond me. Both from having listened to them for nearly 3 decades and from having seen them on the 25th anniversary tour for this album. Easily one of the best concerts I have ever seen.

[@jlouis4407]

This song was pretty big

[@FUNKACHELI]

I got fired from a classic rock station and went a collage alternative rock station and said wow , this is the next big thing but music ain't organic cs its planned and around this time baby girl solo singers were being pushed ...gets deeper

[@shruggzdastr8-facedclown]

​@franz909 : This particular album and single came out in 1993 at the zenith of the grunge/post-grunge take-over of the Mainstream. The girl-pop and boy-band backlash was another five years off. We had to go thru nü-metal and mid-'90s rap-rock (Godsmack, Korn, Limp Bizkit, et. al.), first

One of my best memories of Seattle was trying to find the record store they were doing a record release for Amazing Disgrace in...couldn't find the damn place till I see Ken and his pink hair walking down the street. I followed him right to the record store.

[@joshporter5205]

Reminds me of seeing him just hanging out in the crowd for the opening act on their 25th anniversary tour for frosting. That was an amazing show. Definitely a contender for best club show I've ever seen.

RIGHT?? I was born in 2003 so I completely missed the era but in my heart I’ve always known (and been told honestly) that I was born in the wrong generation. Music nowadays kind of sucks... I wish I could time travel to back when this kind of music was most popular

[@guyhemming9156]

Saw them frequently in Portland as well. Great harmonies and they toured frequently with Nirvana. An era we will never see again in our lifetimes.

[@messrocks89]

One of the greatest "drum" albums of all time! Mike is/was an unreal drummer. Love it

[@legendcitymusic]

I agree! the drumming on this song is killer. That was the first thing i noticed when my GF introduced me to them in the late 90s

[@EugenioHertz]

now that you said , really the drums are all over the place. the song isnt bad but compared to the drums, the guitar solo is a fart

Hey!

[@PRdude]

I heard this song today on the radio, and it was the absolute first time I heard it. The radio station was having a block of 90s rock, and they played it because someone requested it. I grew up in the 90s. HOW THE HECK DID I EVER MISS OUT ON THIS ONE???!!!

Bob head. Rock back and forth. Flip hair. Look into fan. Rock out dudes. One of my all time favorite albums.

[@FreelanceRomantic]

Arguably the most underrated band of the nineties; and as a Lagwagon fan, I'm curious to as what type of material Lagwagon would have ended up belting out if Ken Stringfellow ended up recording another record or two with them

[@englishoutlaw]

Agreed.Check out Silver Sun from the UK, for an even more underrated band :)

[@legendcitymusic]

Hey I was a lagwagon fan back in the day ,.. would rather listen to this now tho

Posies is powerpop forever!!

[@agua9999]

I actually consider this “pop grunge”. “Power Pop” is more like Cheap Trick or The Babys (they sang “Every Time I Think of You” & “Isn’t it Time”). Neither of those two bands has grunge sound. This song, however, has grunge elements. The two band members were born & raised in the state of WASHINGTON & California ... (Seattle grunge started in Washington state.)

[@treffbennett6534]

next to Cheap Trick-The Posies are hands down the best power pop band of the modern era! Ken and John's vocal talents are unmatched,which is a huge part of why they are able to play with Alex Chilton and do complete justice to Big Star songs! Listen to ALL the Posies material if you like beautiful melody and harmonies.....vastly underrated!!!!!!!!!

[@Reargunner-o7h]

[@turkeygrump]
