I can't stand the first two and don't know the last one.

Exactly the same as me except I think the first two songs I think are great and don't know anything about the last one.

Threads like this make me feel old when people post things that were early 90's and I can remember but they were just being born.

I ****ing hate that song. I actually hate the band.
You're only allowed listen to them if you spent time in the joy in the 80's.

What song was No.1 on the day you were born
