They certainly were a bit… can I say it, “Outshined” by the Big 4 (or 5 if you want to count Stone Temple Pilots). But I think it was mostly because those bands were the progenitors and were the ones who led the genre. Whereas, Collective Soul, Seven Mary Three, Live and the like just walked the road the progenitors had paved.

I've seen Collective Soul twice in concert. What a show! Check out the live versions with the Atlanta Youth Orchestra! Run, December, The World I Know, Precious Declaration - all great songs.

[@michaellynch5254]

Oh wow what a claim. Best band ever huh?

[@RetroSoulGirl]

@@michaellynch5254 They are dude. I mean, I know it's subjective but they can back it up extremely well. Collective Soul never had the proper marketing to make them seem "bigger" and more well-known. They are cool with keeping it low, and always giving the spotlight to their friends. So Elton John actually duetted with them and he is great friends with the singer Ed Roland. He gifted Ed a grand piano in 1999 to write songs on. He still has it today- I've been inside Ed's house. In addition, they have SO much special material that is unheard of, because they went to independent labels after Atlantic Record raped them. Their sound is pop rock redefined a clear mix of country rock, classic rock, pop rock, blues rock, soul and pop ballads all come together to give this band a rich, unique rock and roll experience. Their music saved so many lives, including my own when I was 19. I'm now 22 and I work for my favorite band in the world because they actually CARE about their fans. They remember all their super fans' names, bring them on stage, do meet & greets, and hell... they let you hang out with their family! They are SO chill! Ed is also a stud, like not only does he look amazing and is so healthy for his age (58) but he always had the stage presence of Michael Hutchence, the talent of all the greats in rock, the wisdom of Warren Zevon and the fashion of Elton John. He totally captivates on stage and when he talks he is just the sweetest man ever, the whole band is so intelligent, real, raw, southern and fun. I could go on. Overall, to ignore this band is to do a terrible disservice to yourself.

[@michaellynch5254]

@@RetroSoulGirl oh I wasn't talking about ignoring them. I can totally appreciate all of the personal things you said about them and can accept that it's your favorite band. However there are bands like the Beatles and led Zeppelin and Rush and Pink Floyd that millions would argue is the best band of all time.

[@kellylaflash1016]

"World I Know" and "December" (as many other comments will also tell you) are other excellent Collective Soul songs.

[@BillHeIsRisen]

From the founder of the band, Ed Roland (who is also the singer, one of the guitar players, and the producer), in an interview I just listened to before watching this reaction video, he said he did that "reverse echo effect" (he didn't call it that, he just said that's how he got that sound in the vocals at specific parts of the song) by singing through a toilet roll tube. I thought that was both hilarious and clever.

[@matthewdrake4385]

[@ilionreactor1079]

@@matthewdrake4385 Rock musicians of the Era invented a new language using tools derived from psychoactive and psychedelic experiences. They were developed in the 1960s, but perfected and applied more widely in the 1970s. Pink Floyd, Led Zep, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Judas Priest, Yes, Rush, so many more, were encoded with this toolkit, and can be best decoded/appreciated using that toolkit. Guitars are good encoding tools, and the Moog was co-opped right after its invention. Music of other genres often was missing this additional element, but it survives waves of pop pablum and surfaces occasionally in a breakout like grunge (for example). It is getting more rare at the moment, but I'm seeing trends away from rhythm music back to melody, which carries a significant portion of the emotional content. Like the 70s, a lot of it is underground. Bands of any era using this toolkit fall into that same basket, in my opinion.

Love this band! Next on the list should be "The World I Know." The official video for that tells the story of the song. For anyone who has contemplated suicide, it's a really moving song that's strangely uplifting at the end... the video uses a lot of symbolism.

Formed in Georgia, Collective Soul debuted in 1994 w/ this album "Hints, allegations & things left unsaid"😂 which went 2x platinum in the US (2 million copies sold)... They were marketed as 'alternative rock', but they had keyboards and were definitely not an indie band. Their 2nd self-titled album was a bigger hit selling 3x platinum... scored MTV hits like 'The world I know' ... 'Gel'... 'December'... Their 3rd album 'Disciplined breakdown' was more polished a record... sold platinum in 1997, scored MTV hits like 'Listen'... 'Precious declaration'... 4th album 'Dosage' went gold in 1999 w/ the single 'Heavy'... Later records did not sell as much... but Collective Soul still records & tours.

[@RetroSoulGirl]

Dude, you should explain why their records didn't sell. They don't suck at all now. But in 2001 they were "raped" by Atlantic Records. For example, "Heavy" went to #1 for like 14 weeks or more and Atlantic refused to do a music video for it. Ultimately, Collective Soul chose to go to independent labels for their longevity and to have full ownership of their songs. As a result they made way more money going independent then they have with Atlantic Records. What sufferer was that they had no way to market themselves (especially in the 2000s before streaming) so their albums did poorer in sales in comparison to when they were signed with Atlantic which makes sense as they're a major label. Collective Soul formed their own label called El Music Group just to keep themselves going. These days they are being rediscovered thanks to the internet and streaming, but I jsut wanted people reading this to know that Collective Soul is not a 90s band. They made more rad albums outside of the 90s and continue to go as strong as ever despite multiple band member changes, personal traumas and label issues. Ed sings SO good now for being 58, it makes me CRY! They are a band that gets either better with age, or stays jsut as awesome. NEVER a disappointment. Don't let the weak sales of their more recent albums make you think that they aren't any good! I'm 22 and I have seen them 8 times already, and will be going to my 9-11th shows this summer!

[@sumonjamal1653]

@@RetroSoulGirl Believe me, I understand how you feel... There are great 80's bands that still make great music & tour... but can't sell records like they used to: L.A. Guns, Kix, Quiet Riot, Warrant, Great White, Dokken, Winger, Night Ranger... ...But there just comes a time when a band is too tied to a certain decade. The same thing happened to 90's bands in the 2000's (and Collective Soul is a 90's band) - The Cranberries, Filter, Bush, Stone Temple Pilots, Soul Asylum, Candlebox, Stabbing Westward, etc... all declined. Record companies can't sell a band if the public isn't buying the record.

Great reaction. Collective soul had many hits in the 90s... They were really good. Dolly Parton did a cover to this song, and it is actually incredible... amazing. Anyway, thank you 😊

I have been following Collective Soul since 2006, great group, great guys, great music! My next show will be my 20th. Their fan base is huge, and I have many friends on Facebook just from knowing the band. Next songs to check, The world I know, where the river flows, precious declaration, heavy, she said, run just to name a few. They've had 7 top ten hits in their career so far. Enjoy!!!

Love this song!! Check out their songs Run, The World I Know, She Said, Better Now... You may also like "Far Behind" by Candlebox. Keep smiling!! 🎶😁🎶

[@robindavisduckworth8992]

They havent done any candelbox yet. I know they will love them.

Chiming in for Candlebox. When I hear the beginning of Far Behind... chills to this day. Candlebox was my first concert and... whew. It was good.

[@daniellehughes5031]

They really need to do this one. ❤️ I've commented on several videos with Far Behind and I really think you guys would like it.

[@jujut5655]

You by Candlebox is also a good one.

[@robindavisduckworth8992]

@@jujut5655 i like that one too. Just put the whole track on and let it roll. Cover Me is great too.

Collective Soul carried me through the 90's when great music became scarce for me. " Hints Allegations & Things Left Unsaid" was a godsend for me. I was grasping for air as far as music is concerned and Collective Soul gave me oxygen. "The World I know" is a classic of that era and you should react to ASAP. A brilliant song by a brilliant band.

Next up - the AWESOME Dolly Parton cover of this.

I second this.

Collective Soul , I love this band. One of my. Some of my favourites besides this one , are Hollywood, Perfect day and Run.👍👍

[@dionshare7103]

Good band. I seen them live once some years ago now. That was when they had barely gotten started. I honestly consider Collective Soul sort of their own style. Kinda post grunge/early more modern rock. Never heard the Dolly version being mentioned.

[@teresajarrell452]

me either, but would like to though. . .

I had just about given up on radio at this point in my life, not being a big grunge fan. Then I heard Collective Soul. Amazing band and great songwriters. A musician friend of mine after listening to their Disciplined Breakdown album for the first time said they were the most melodic band he's heard since the 70s. I have to agree.

[@jchav009]

Very underrated band. "The World I Know" by them is probably my favorite song of all time. "December" is up there too.

[@cathyopthof8136]

Collective Soul was my favorite band for atleast a decade. They got me through my last years of nursing school, in 1993and 94. Shine gave me the inspiration to keep going! Amazingly enough, their songs just got better and better! Check out as many as you can they are awesome!
