Little Miss Can't Be Wrong

The summer of 1992 was great for so many reasons. LA Riots, I was a rising sophmore in high school and The Spin Doctors(not Fox News). The record A Pocket Full of Kryptonite was released in 1991 but didn't gain a full head of steam until that pivotal summer.

That summer saw The Chronic from Dr. Dre, and Nevermind from Nirvana. I was bumpin' Two Princes by The Spin Doctors, a sugary radio single was all the rage and a great hit. But at one of our first pep rally's Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit introduced our cheeleaders...(thought added for effect) I genuinely don't know if the cheerleaders were danced to Smells Like Teen Spririt. Today, certainly. But the crime of the summer was a half decent pop band like the Spin Doctors were blasted off of the radio and out of our minds by the power of grunge and the heat and freshness of gangsta rap.

So this is the ode to Spin Doctors, Gin Blossoms, Lemonheads, et al.

Two Princes, Jimmy Olson's Blues, Little Miss Can't Be Wrong- Spin Doctors

Until I Fall Away, Hey Jealousy, Allison Road- Gin Blossoms

Big Gay Heart, It's a Shame About Ray, Buddy- Lemonheads
