Song In My Head

Suede's "So Young." Maybe it's because we're not really so young anymore. Either way, Suede's debut album from 1993 was a landmark moment in British music, melding Smiths-like melodic, inventive guitars with glam rock behind lead guitarist Bernard Butler. Suede helped usher in other bands that pushed the boundaries under the so-called Britpop umbrella. But unlike some of the imitators, this track has aged well. I picked up the CD used for four bucks at a great little shop in Carlsbad, CA, last week.
