How these guys weren't bigger is completely beyond me. Both from having listened to them for nearly 3 decades and from having seen them on the 25th anniversary tour for this album. Easily one of the best concerts I have ever seen.
I got fired from a classic rock station and went a collage alternative rock station and said wow , this is the next big thing but music ain't organic cs its planned and around this time baby girl solo singers were being pushed ...gets deeper
@franz909 : This particular album and single came out in 1993 at the zenith of the grunge/post-grunge take-over of the Mainstream. The girl-pop and boy-band backlash was another five years off. We had to go thru nü-metal and mid-'90s rap-rock (Godsmack, Korn, Limp Bizkit, et. al.), first
RIGHT?? I was born in 2003 so I completely missed the era but in my heart I’ve always known (and been told honestly) that I was born in the wrong generation. Music nowadays kind of sucks... I wish I could time travel to back when this kind of music was most popular
One of my best memories of Seattle was trying to find the record store they were doing a record release for Amazing Disgrace in...couldn't find the damn place till I see Ken and his pink hair walking down the street. I followed him right to the record store.
Reminds me of seeing him just hanging out in the crowd for the opening act on their 25th anniversary tour for frosting. That was an amazing show. Definitely a contender for best club show I've ever seen.
I heard this song today on the radio, and it was the absolute first time I heard it. The radio station was having a block of 90s rock, and they played it because someone requested it. I grew up in the 90s. HOW THE HECK DID I EVER MISS OUT ON THIS ONE???!!!
...Hate being born in the middle of 90's...Hate living in 21 century.Gotta feeling,like I was born in a wrong time& in a wrong place...God save the music of 90's..
Arguably the most underrated band of the nineties; and as a Lagwagon fan, I'm curious to as what type of material Lagwagon would have ended up belting out if Ken Stringfellow ended up recording another record or two with them
The posies are a great mix of styles, fantastic to listen to, and you can hear every word of the poetry. I just love 'Every Kind of Light', with it's change of tempo from number to number, and it even contains a serious blues song, fantastically performed. It just lifts your spirits. Don't ever stop!
This is in my top 5 tracks, of all time! Absolutely beautiful. The album is in the top 5, also!😍🥰😍🥰😍 A friend recorded Mr. Bungle on one side, of the tape and just decided to stick this on the other. Thank you Jonatan Edwards. Without you, I would never gotten to appreciate this amazing band!
I fucking love this album....still listen to it all the time to this day....melodies that are so sweet you get a toothache.....and they knew it too, hence 'frosting' and 'flavor'. Essential.
I remember I met one or two of these guys when I was just barely 16, maybe 15 still. They were playing at the university and me and my friends were hesitantly allowed to go. We were just giddy, giggly girls, not attracted to men yet, and just got a glimpse at the disparity between us kids and the older rock n' rollers. Like a brush with danger, exciting, but yet scary, we were unsure why they reacted how they did to us asking for an autograph: oddly, first irritation, then friendliness, and restraint. I guess they were concealing something not suitable for children. Don't think they were expecting kids in the hall. Thought about that on and off for many years after. Just an anecdote. A hazy memory. A slice of life... I still like the song.
I remember the first time I ever heard this song as a kid in the 90's, I flipped out. This song still makes me spaz today at the end of 2012. It's bliss.
I definitely remember watching this when i was about 5. . . my dad had a vhs that he got from a guy that had this, acoustic version of solar sister, golden blunders and the germs cover on it. I just played it over and over! My childhood right here :)
One of my favorite memories in my entire life was interviewing Ken Stringfellow. Such a nice guy, awesome things to talk about, and spoke some French with me! This song has meant the world to be since I was incredibly little (2003 kid) and I don’t think it will ever stop. Love these guys!
First time I ever listened to The Posies was the album Frosting On The Beater, which starts of with this absolute masterpiece. Loved The Posies ever since!
next to Cheap Trick-The Posies are hands down the best power pop band of the modern era! Ken and John's vocal talents are unmatched,which is a huge part of why they are able to play with Alex Chilton and do complete justice to Big Star songs! Listen to ALL the Posies material if you like beautiful melody and harmonies.....vastly underrated!!!!!!!!!
One of my favorite songs of my 14th year. Also loved Belly's "Feed the Tree" which had a really similar video. All you needed was a forest and the rotating cam. 1993.
Even though Ken's personal transgressions have somewhat tarnished this band's legacy, I'll still enjoy this rockin' tune as one of my favorites from the 90's. #RIPPosies
I was a 20-something from MN on a business trip to CA, in late 1992. I had some time to kill and ended up at a music store in a mall. The clerk put on "Frosting on the Beater" and when this song came on -- I immediately bought the album (on cassette). I still have it.
My aunt Elaine married John and the line “red wine sensation” was based on her because that’s all she drank.. They divorced but I just learned about this today and I think it’s so cool!!❤️
I actually consider this “pop grunge”. “Power Pop” is more like Cheap Trick or The Babys (they sang “Every Time I Think of You” & “Isn’t it Time”). Neither of those two bands has grunge sound. This song, however, has grunge elements. The two band members were born & raised in the state of WASHINGTON & California ... (Seattle grunge started in Washington state.)
I actually did watch a lot of MTV back in the day, but I'll be honest and say that I never got to watch much of 120 Minutes back then. At least I did find out about The Posies at all, even if it was just two years ago. Better late than never.
Power Pop. Not grunge. The album is stellar from start to finish. A real keeper.
Hot!
Grunge.
It's almost a power pop template
doesn't really matter. seems like the only people who really care about genres, like to fight, gatekeep and put others down. screw labels
@@Tsureiki Came here to say this. Rock on. Or Roll, whatever.
You can't be more 90's than this.
💲
I would raise you a Matthew Sweet but you are correct!
You can try but that would be so Seattle.
This still is phenomenal.
...early '90s, yes
How these guys weren't bigger is completely beyond me. Both from having listened to them for nearly 3 decades and from having seen them on the 25th anniversary tour for this album. Easily one of the best concerts I have ever seen.
This song was pretty big
👍 I support! 🐝👸🏽

Damn If only we could go back. The best era... the best music. Authenticity...

@@NightOfTheRevolution it's all good dude, it's still here to enjoy.
How bad I miss the 90s.... 😢

I get shivers listening to this; was a magical time in my life.
Same here!
One of the best songs ever made. In my top ten.
This song was magical when it was released, still is
I used to work in a store selling guitars for 10 years in France, Jon was a regular customer. Great guy and great guitar player !
One of the greatest "drum" albums of all time! Mike is/was an unreal drummer. Love it
I agree! the drumming on this song is killer. That was the first thing i noticed when my GF introduced me to them in the late 90s
now that you said , really the drums are all over the place. the song isnt bad but compared to the drums, the guitar solo is a fart
Ok have another beer dood!
@@EugenioHertz It's an anti-solo bro. Guitar playing is incredible on this entire record. Vocals obviously amazing, and yes the drums are god-tier.
Hey!
The Posies! As a Seattle native I saw them live alot mid to late '90s, nice harmonies, good music, I still have their CD's in my collection.
Jonny's hitting the big Five-O this year, isn't he?
Saw them frequently in Portland as well. Great harmonies and they toured frequently with Nirvana. An era we will never see again in our lifetimes.
This song is golden.
I surely did. You?
Oh, that's such a long time ago. Uhm, could be 'Fuzzy' by Grant Lee Buffalo before and 'Underwhelmed' by Sloan after f.e.
Golden Blunders come in pairs
I concur ;)
It sure is :)
I'm 40 years old, I still daydream all day.
chrisradano welp. You still kicking & Rocking & Rolling? Just about 50 now. Good luck
Damn, now youll soon be 50 and theres still people reading this comment and daydreaming all day
@@AJAXKID123 I'm 51. This song came out after I was in High School. Some of the 1990's songs still sound good, others not so much. This one is good.
You are 50 now. Keep dreaming.
@@lemmingbcn 51 going on 18!

...Hate being born in the middle of 90's...Hate living in 21 century.Gotta feeling,like I was born in a wrong time& in a wrong place...God save the music of 90's..
I actually wore the CD out sooo many years ago when I was trying to be a rockstar. The harmonies are an addiction.
Love this tune. Seattle Grunge meets Psychedelic Pop. Makes me miss the 90's.
I would love to have a loop into the 90's forever when it comes to music!
This song takes me back.
but do you dream all day about it?
@@ArgentWind yes
No.49 on 100 Greatest Grunge/Washington state tracks.
Bob head. Rock back and forth. Flip hair. Look into fan. Rock out dudes. One of my all time favorite albums.
The perfect marriage of heavy and light. The Everly Brothers of the modern era. Fabulous
Second sentence does not match the first. Was there about the Everly Brothers that was not simply honey and sugar?
BilisNegra I see where you are coming from. I mean that the harmonies are as good as the Everlys
@@BilisNegra The harmonies are perfect, like the Everlys. They have the telepathy of brothers
Nice name there lol!
I bought this CD in 1993 I think. Thanks for considering me and this song as modern I guess.lol
Like Jellyfish, another underrated band from the '90s.
music is the best time machine ever
Still listening in 2022. Takes me back to better times
Ever go for a walk in the woods only to come across a band just randomly rocking out in the middle of nowhere?
So many times.
All the time. They're such Posie-eurs 😏
100% all American rock -n- roll
This music video is so '90s. I like the inexplicable smoke...
+Jinruigaku The smoke comes from the big giant joint they were smoking...
ahhhh... the 90's
i guess that explain it all, good to know after all these years and the fact that back then beavis and butthead never clear this up
This is how I imagine the Beatles would sound if they were reincarnated as a grunge band. Always loved this song.
great comment dude. 🙅♂️
The 80s Beatles: XTC
The 90s Beatles: The Posies
Nothing even remotely resembling the Beatles here
Not really grunge.
@@m56wr4t6 I hear it a bit, there's a little bit of psychdelia in the elements of the album
sort of reminds me of blue oyster cult, love it
Forgot all about this song. I loved this song and had the album when it was released I was in the 10th grade and 15.
This is the perfect trip song and the perfect trip music video i love you guys this is amazing
Arguably the most underrated band of the nineties; and as a Lagwagon fan, I'm curious to as what type of material Lagwagon would have ended up belting out if Ken Stringfellow ended up recording another record or two with them
Agreed.Check out Silver Sun from the UK, for an even more underrated band :)
Hey I was a lagwagon fan back in the day ,.. would rather listen to this now tho
The posies are a great mix of styles, fantastic to listen to, and you can hear every word of the poetry.

this would be the soundtrack to my life.
One of the most stylish bands ever. They have too many good songs, such a songwriter… .
I miss the 90s!! The good old days!!!
This comment is 10 years old... how’s things?
Darius - The heart of Rock and Roll is the beat.
Your heartbeat is with us forever.
This is in my top 5 tracks, of all time! Absolutely beautiful. The album is in the top 5, also!😍🥰😍🥰😍
A friend recorded Mr. Bungle on one side, of the tape and just decided to stick this on the other. Thank you Jonatan Edwards. Without you, I would never gotten to appreciate this amazing band!
I fucking love this album....still listen to it all the time to this day....melodies that are so sweet you get a toothache.....and they knew it too, hence 'frosting' and 'flavor'.
Essential.
I remember I met one or two of these guys when I was just barely 16, maybe 15 still. They were playing at the university and me and my friends were hesitantly allowed to go. We were just giddy, giggly girls, not attracted to men yet, and just got a glimpse at the disparity between us kids and the older rock n' rollers. Like a brush with danger, exciting, but yet scary, we were unsure why they reacted how they did to us asking for an autograph: oddly, first irritation, then friendliness, and restraint. I guess they were concealing something not suitable for children. Don't think they were expecting kids in the hall. Thought about that on and off for many years after. Just an anecdote. A hazy memory. A slice of life... I still like the song.
One of the best bands to come out of the original alternative landscape!
One of the greatest songs/videos ever
I remember the first time I ever heard this song as a kid in the 90's, I flipped out. This song still makes me spaz today at the end of 2012. It's bliss.
Lets hear it for those who can daydream as long as they want!! Anytime, anywhere. Daydreamer for ever.
One of the main bands in my life. God save The Posies!
DAMN this brings back great memories :)
my youth... one of the best songs ever written... on the album there are also many other songs that are of high quality... so... buy it!
I definitely remember watching this when i was about 5. . . my dad had a vhs that he got from a guy that had this, acoustic version of solar sister, golden blunders and the germs cover on it. I just played it over and over!
My childhood right here :)
Haven't heard this in years. It really takes me back, summed my life up well back then & not much has changed now!
Thanks for the gorgeous quality of this upload. I could listen to this song all day!
One of my favorite memories in my entire life was interviewing Ken Stringfellow. Such a nice guy, awesome things to talk about, and spoke some French with me! This song has meant the world to be since I was incredibly little (2003 kid) and I don’t think it will ever stop. Love these guys!
Not such a nice guy after all apparently.
@@richalderson6069 aw man, I had no idea.. their music is now forever ruined for me
@@neptheneptune Ruined? Their music was always crap and you know it.
Listening again in 2020. This band was/is so talented.
Seems like Ghost listened to this too :D
Miss my 90 s
sink to the bottom (fountain of wayne), dream all day and buddy holly (weezer), that's how I define my teen years in the 90's
We saw them at the Sailor's Meeting House in Downtown Seattle in the Summer of 1995. They wore Kiss makeup and rocked out.
First time I ever listened to The Posies was the album Frosting On The Beater, which starts of with this absolute masterpiece. Loved The Posies ever since!
next to Cheap Trick-The Posies are hands down the best power pop band of the modern era! Ken and John's vocal talents are unmatched,which is a huge part of why they are able to play with Alex Chilton and do complete justice to Big Star songs! Listen to ALL the Posies material if you like beautiful melody and harmonies.....vastly underrated!!!!!!!!!
Grunge rules!
This sounds like a 90s version of Burnin' For You.
i like the backing vocals timbre much. and could dream all day.... certainly
One of my favorite songs of my 14th year. Also loved Belly's "Feed the Tree" which had a really similar video. All you needed was a forest and the rotating cam. 1993.
I remember watching this GEM as a kid...I loved it. I couldn't decide which one was cuter
Frosting on the Beater was one of the best albums of the 90's than never made anybody's "best of" list. Apparently, 593,269 people know better.
So on point my friend!!! Correctamundo!!!👏👏👏👏
Even though Ken's personal transgressions have somewhat tarnished this band's legacy, I'll still enjoy this rockin' tune as one of my favorites from the 90's. #RIPPosies
Love the song & the video. I love woods & snow so the combo is excellent to me.
Under-rated band and song.
Totally 90s man
RIP Matt Harris great song from the 90s
One of the key songs that reminds me of three incredible months in the USA. Great song!
...rocks hard...perfect 🔥
Woah this bring back memories
I was a 20-something from MN on a business trip to CA, in late 1992. I had some time to kill and ended up at a music store in a mall. The clerk put on "Frosting on the Beater" and when this song came on -- I immediately bought the album (on cassette). I still have it.
It didn't come out until 1993.
90's Forever!
My aunt Elaine married John and the line “red wine sensation” was based on her because that’s all she drank.. They divorced but I just learned about this today and I think it’s so cool!!❤️
You ain’t gotta lie to kick it...
@@MrToddling Haha, I’m not I promise! We got wedding pics, I’d show ya if I could
getting to meet these guys and work with members is such an honor
I know what you mean! When I got to talk with Ken I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. It was a dream come true.
i used to live with dave, their old bass player, out in seattle. the guy lived on twinkies, cakes, and sugary treats.
2021 - Yes, it´s still worth listening to
its not grunge its pure power pop
I don't even think this is one of the top six songs on the album. Incredible album.
Posies is powerpop forever!!
I actually consider this “pop grunge”. “Power Pop” is more like Cheap Trick or The Babys (they sang “Every Time I Think of You” & “Isn’t it Time”). Neither of those two bands has grunge sound. This song, however, has grunge elements. The two band members were born & raised in the state of WASHINGTON & California ... (Seattle grunge started in Washington state.)

Wisdom, Mr. Tornado. Pure wisdom.
It's what we get in exchange for those years that blew by us.
nah man this video rocks
I love the Posies!
A kick ass song from a great period in music.
I bought this album back in my high-school years. Still a great band along with vegas witchcraft
The Posies are one of my favorite band it’s pretty cool to friends with them and who is here in 2021
I love how the drums come in
Great song.
Although, it reminds me of the song "Driver's Seat" by Sniff 'n' the Tears
ive discovered i can absolutely everything on youtube
Little Richard, Elvis, Beatles, Psychedelic Rock, Hard Rock, Punk, New Wave, Goth, Heavy Metal, Alternative...Rock & Roll.
And one of my favorite bands from that era as well Chris
20 old years this month but as fresh as ever
The first 4 songs on f.o.t.b. would grace any album with their prescence/complete hookability!!!
My fave song when I was a kid!
I don't know what happened to music, but I am glad I was here when music was great!
It's a tremendous album, but it's still amazing how hard their label/handlers at the time were trying to tie them in with "grunge."
bc this song does have quite heavy riffs, and of course bc grunge was the best selling musical genre at that time
Love this song! Thank you for posting, The Posies are a great band! Awesome video for an awesome song! =)
