While it is not fashionable to admit it, the biggest selling artists of the 90s in Australia included Shania Twain and Celine Dion. Nirvana might be more influential, but they didn’t sell the most albums. Throwing Copper feels like a cross between Nirvana and these artists. Hear me out…
If you take the sound of Nirvana, but inject it with the mass appeal of Celine Dion you get Live.
I was really surprised to learn that Throwing Copper is one of the biggest selling albums in Australia of all time. It’s not in the top 10, but it’s number 45. So, I guess they were onto a winning formula.
Let’s be generous here… I Alone, Lightning Crashes, and Selling the Drama are not bad songs. But if feels a bit like this is the Bon Jovi of grunge. Again, it’s not worth close scrutiny
