It (Verve Pipe) was a rock radio hit, or perhaps “modern rock” format hit when it came out. Also, probably YMMV as different markets will add or not add tracks to playlists. Certainly nowhere near as big as “The Freshmen” but I think it was their first single from that album and I definitely remember it having a video on MTV/VH1. I’ve heard it on the radio here and there over the years.
Def Leppard definitely, but I like the Ringo Starr song too. I never knew the title before. Weezer is great, The Verve was decent. Hate the Nickelback and Ed Sheeran songs.
It’s the only one I’ve ever heard. Easy vote
I myself voted for Def Leppard, but I nearly went with Sheeran, and I almost wish I would have so it’d have at least one vote to its credit.
I’ll chalk that up to it being a new song and most of the older not-listening-to-pop-radio crowd here having not heard it, because IMO it’s a really moving song.
This was the first thing I thought of when I saw the thread title. And clearly better than any of the poll choices.
No love for Camper Van Beethoven, either.
I’m sure I’ve heard the Ringo version, but I can’t bring it to mind and I’m too lazy to search for it on the intertube right now, and Def Leppard’s version came to mind instantly, and it’s also a good song, so I voted for DL, and god I hope my second grade teacher isn’t reading this run-on sentence right now but I think she’s dead.
