Album 365: Day 19 - Spin Doctors - Pocket Full of Kryptonite

Spin Doctors
Pocket Full of Krytonite
1991














Favorite tracks: What Time is It?, How Could You Want Him (When You Know You Could Have Me?), Shinbone Alley/Hard To Exist
Sleeper tracks: Little Miss Can't Be Wrong, Two Princes

Another guilty pleasure band.  I'm not ashamed to admit that I own this band's entire catalog.

I can't remember when I first heard these guys.  It was probably on MTV or the radio.  My friends and I used to dig on this album quite a bit.  There's great guitar work throughout and Aaron Comess was a drum inspiration through high school (that god awful high tuned snare was all the rage.  I even used his Zildjian 3A drumsticks for a spell).   The song "Refrigerator Car" is in 9/8.  That's not the norm for a 5X platinum  pop album.
