Tribute to the now iconic Toad The Wet Sprocket thread.

Better Than Ezra. What do you say?

Better Than Ezra
Ezra
Jake
Less Than Jake

Ace Frehley brings it harder than ever live in 2025.

“Good”, “In The Blood”, and “Desperately Wanting” are three timeless, perfect songs.

And I’ve never heard another note from them. That is very much a me issue.

“King of New Orleans” got a lot of airplay when it first came out and then they had some random Adult Pop hit single a few years later but all their albums flopped (I’m just talking about what happened after the “Desperately Wanting” era, and on that note I feel like that song should have been bigger- like I remember a video and a lot of play on rock radio but obviously it was nowhere near “Good” big)

Forgot about that song. That was a good one!

I agree King of New Orleans is a fucking great song, and should have been a bigger hit......

Can't seem to find the actual video on YouTube?

Agreed, but "Good", "Rosalia", "In the Blood", and "Desperately Wanting" are all pretty great alt-rock classics as well.

They're local, so I gotta support them.

Great band, nothing special though. Just basic slow rock music.
