Extreme "Hole Hearted"

It was one of the biggest hits of 1991, and yet, I can't tell you the last time I heard this bit of ear candy.

Why?

History is written by the victors, isn't it?

In 1991, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was released and suddenly Hair Bands were out of fashion and Grunge Rock was in. Or, at least, that's how history is written.

In reality, the Grunge era was populated with songs like this. But here in 2010, it's not what we're nostalgic for.

If you are in Boston and you listen to that station that used to sound a lot like mvyradio, but now only seems to play Weezer and Live and other such 90s fare, you'll still never hear this tune.

It may have been out of fashion (and the people in the video sure can't dance) but THIS was the early 90s, no matter what the Rock History book says.
