Seriously, this has got to be the most underrated band of all time, in all the universe. Who's with me?

they had that one song that was alright..

[The_Rat_Who_Would_be_King]

They are often branded as a one hit wonder because the single In the Meantime was really their only big hit, and big it was. But they've had a few more singles and there non-single material is some of the most playable music I've ever heard. Someone other than me must own an album or two.

[saturnine]

they are correctly branded

[mrs jesus]

ive never heard them, but everyone knows there are no hogs in space, so that name is just one gigantic lie

[saturnine]

i've never stumbled across a soundgarden, either

[mrs jesus]

havent you ever read about where they got their name from?

theres some place in seattle that theyre named after..

[MrManInvisible]

Their last album wasn't so great (although I did like the 2001 theme cover) but the first two were amazing! Zeros!

i've never seen it.. as you've never seen a spacehog. who are we to dismiss it?

[calgarydave]

In The Mean Time is a kickass song!

 

But as a general rule, 1 song isn't enough to make me want to buy an album. That is if its not MG (hes put out enough good stuff that I can be fairly certain a new record will be worth it)

 

What are title of other good tracks from them

thats so weird! i almost made a spacehog thread last night and then here it is the next day.

 

anyways i absolutly love spacehog, resident alien and the hogyssey i can listen to straight through. I dont have the chinse album though. I do think they are underrated and/or perhaps people just for some reason cant appreciate their music

[deadstar]

I only have "Resident Alien," but I love it. I picked it up on a whim from a used record shop for US$1. Now to find the rest of the albums. Yeah, I'd say they're pretty underrated.

"the soundgarden" is a sculpture in seattle.

[The_Rat_Who_Would_be_King]

There other singles that I'm aware of are Cruel to be Kind and At Least I Got Laid. I too have Resident Alien and the Hogyssey, the other one is impossible to find.

 

"Everybody in the world... Is bent."

[leftofnormal38]

"i want to live" was an excellent single from the hogyssey

My favourite part of any song ever is at the end of Earthquake where the song ends then comes back and Royston sings "Beans on toast! Beans on toast!"

[Paranoid Android]

Spacehog is a pretty cool band. I haven't listend to them in a while.

[MrManInvisible]

yeah, the Hoggesey did have some good songs, but there were some on there that i always skip through. Maybe half the cd was good, half of what's left is decent, and the last ones i just don't like. Nothing in comparison to the other two albums.

[The_Rat_Who_Would_be_King]

I just got the Chinese Album the other day. For those of you who owned and liked the other two, I think you'd find that this is easily not their best work, but still has some great stuff on it nonetheless. Some parts of this CD really make me recognize how talented they could be, which makes me regret that they no longer exist. That is all.

 

I'm sorry for bumping this.

[Jarrod]

i liked a few songs of theirs. my sister had that one...resident alien? i think that's it. it was alright.

[Shortcut To Moncton]

I remember owning Resident Alien for a couple of days but then selling it.

[The_Rat_Who_Would_be_King]

You fool. You've no idea what you've done.

[CaptainRocket]

Resident Alien is a really cool record.
