Sixteen Stone by Bush (Rock) (CD, Dec-1994, Trauma)

I have to admit, in the 1990s I was one of those musical snobs who hated that Bush had taken the masterpiece of Nirvana and distorted it into commercialized pop, but since then, I've mellowed, and recently gave Sixteen Stone another listen. I'll have to admit--I like it.
To me, Bush is the musical equivalent of Cosmopolitan magazine. Shakespeare it's not, but I pop the CD in, listen to it, love it and don't really have to think about it. It's not deep or meaningful, but it's good to listen to. There are plenty of hits here from Everything Zen, to Gylcerine to my fave Come Down. It's still good enough, though, to put in as back ground music and play all the way through.
Bush didn't change the world. The band was known as much for Gavin Rossdale's good looks as their music, but their contribution is that they became a part of the soundtrack to a decade of very interesting rock music. They are a guilty pleasure that are worth taking a listen to.
