90's Record You Probably Have Never Heard but Need to

Black Lab released their debut album "Your Body Above Mine" in 1997, and no one really seemed to care. They got a song on the Spiderman soundtrack and opened for a few big name bands but for some reason, they never took off themselves. Herein lies the real travesty: "Your Body Above Mine" is a real piece of work. There are at least 4 should-have-been-huge songs on this record, and they had exactly 0 hits. Some people remember the Counting Crows on speed alt rock jam "Wash It Away", but whenever I go back to listen to this record it's always because of "She Loves Me", one of the finest pieces of music 1997 has to offer us 13 years later. Black Lab are still around and still pretty good, but if you're going to check them out start at the beginning. Awesome album you can find in most record store cut out bins for like $4. Pick up a copy.
