Black Crowes? Anyone? I’m listening to them right now, actually. “Twice as Hard”, “Jealous Again”, “Hard to Handle” and “She Talks to Angels”. These really got airplay after the MTV Unplugged performance. And there would be a bunch of Unplugged songs, I should think, if only I could think of any more… And my one most favoritest dance tune, Deee-Lite’s “Groove is in the Heart” ---

[QUOTE=panamajack] This thread triggered a memory of a song from that time that I can’t remember much about - what I do remember is that it sampled a car alarm (in the background), and sort of sounded like Depeche Mode. I think the band may have been from Sacramento as well. A little research suggests the band may be **Cause & Effect** , but I don’t recognize the song. Does anyone know if they’re the ones who used a car alarm, or am I mixing things up in my memory? [/QUOTE] Yeah **Cause & Effect** was a DM soundalike band that had a couple of minor hits during the early to mid 90’s. The songs I remember off-hand are “Another Minute”, “You Think You Know Her”, and “It’s Over Now”. I think the song you’re thinking of is “It’s Over Now” - the sample on Amazon ([here](http://www.amazon.com/Trip-Cause-Effect/dp/B000000997/sr=1-2/qid=1167435663/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/105-2618315-3770048?ie=UTF8&s=music)) has a siren sound in it. I liked their singles, but never felt they could really pull a full album. From what I understand, their lead singer died of an asthma attack right before a show touring on their first album and had to be replaced after that. ---

Thanks **interface2x** , that was it! [QUOTE=Least Original User Name Ever] Is it just me or was every Everclear song…the same? Different lyrics, of course..but…the same! [/QUOTE] “We can live beside the ocean, father of mine, tell me where did you go …” Pretty much true of all their popular songs, but that’s can be said of several bands. Though I don’t much like those songs - my favorite one of theirs is “So Much for the Afterglow”. Another one from the mid-to-late-90’s ska revival : Reel Big Fish - (“Sell Out”, “Everything Sucks”) ---
