52 Pickup - Entry 5

[allan138]

Number five is "Plowed" by Sponge. Drew Cordeiro has always extolled the virtues of putting songs attached with youth over songs that are critically praised, which is why I'll always like "Dammit" by Blink 182 more than any Tool or Opeth song because I remember liking it during a time when things were a lot simpler. "Plowed" is on the soundtrack to Empire Records, one of my favorite movies ever - probably the last stand of grunge when it came to movie soundtracks (Foxfire and later, Girl also had good soundtracks). The song plays when the record store is set to make their last ditch effort to save the place from a large corporation from taking it over. Sponge is one of those bands that only had a couple of hits but what they had will probably stick with you for a long time. One day I'd like to delve into their discography, but for now - I share with you "Plowed" from their debut, "Rotting Pinata."
