Naff radio alt/rock along the lines of....

[Liam]

Ok, so not all these are naff, radio rock or alternative, but they all kinda follow a similar kinda tone in my eyes, and I'd like some more songs along these lines:

Live 'The Dolphins Cry'

Train 'Drops Of Jupiter'

Blind Melon 'No Rain'

Any Matchbox 20 song ever >_>.....ok, more like Push or 3am

I had a few more, but this early in the morning, I can't particularly remember them. But you know, that kinda over-ernest, anthemic or singalong, middle of the road rock, I guess.

[Skummy]

4 Non Blondes.

[METALMAN]

Coldplay

Starsailor

Stereophonics

Cherry Ghost

Basically any band Q magazine likes.

[Liam]

Bit more rock than indie would work for me, really.

I already like Starsailor anyway

[New Damage]

Ahhh, "Sentimental Rock"

Chances are a lot of these you may know already as IIRC you don't mind the grunge (evident by Blind Melon), but I'll chuck them out there anyway...

Dunno if you wanted songs as well, so did some that fit the same bill as the Train and Blind Melon song.

A lot more Blind Melon

Candlebox - I was gonna name a few tracks, but near enough the whole Greatest Hits is it.

Screaming Trees

Days of the New - "Phobics of Tragedy" & "Touch, Peel & Stand" in particular

The Exies - "Tired of You" & "Inertia"

Finger Eleven - "Thousand Mile Wish"

Puddle of Mudd - "Spin You Around"

Shinedown - "Second Chance", "I Dare You" & "Burning Bright"

Souldriver - "A Song For You"

Stereo Fuse - "Everything"

The Calling - "Adrienne"

I won't bother mentioning to obvious/big bands/ones you know like Nickelback, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, etc.. Except here.

If there was ever a person I was hoping that would post in a 'naff alt/rock' thread, it was you TMW......

All pissing about aside, much appreciated. Will definitely check out some of the stuff you've thrown down.

[New Damage]

Thanks... I think.

To be honest some of that stuff I haven't played for ages, but it fits the bill. I will say get Blind Melon's first album though, that album is full o' fun times.

[KevinStorm]

Every single Staind ever released.

Can I pimp Vertical Horizon in this thread?

Yes I can.

Go check out Vertical Horizon if you like Matchbox. It's your typical adult altern-rock with catchy melodies and pretty neat licks.
