I graduated HS in the early 90's and was into the grunge scene but somehow missed this group.  There was an article about this album on BBC recently and it's worth the listen.  Full album on link on YouTube:

Love this album! "Disco 2000" is one of my favorite tracks from it. If you have not heard William Shatner's (yes, the great Captain Kirk) cover of "Common People", I highly recommend it haha.

Thank you for that!  What a laugh! Not sure I could listen to him for an entire album.  It's hard not to picture him in uniform as he talks his way through the song :)

Well THAT is the first Shatner track I could actually listen to without a strained grimace.  I am pretty tolerant of a lack of singing ability in a singer/songwriter, but Bill ain't either one!

I watched the Pulp video of the song. Not my typical genre, but actually quite enjoyable!! Thanks!

Cheers,
Geary

Shatner was on a Ben Folds side project that was called Fear of Pop and did a track called In Love and that was also great.

Couldn't find an emoji for "strained grimace"!!   :o

It’s like a Filet-o-Fish sandwich - it’s not good, but it is what it’s meant to be.

That Fear of Pop song was great haha. Nice post. I had no idea Ben Folds had that side project.
