Filter-Short Bus
Better known for their sweet and sentimental song "Take a Picture" (I remember that song being played when Cal Ripken had his last game) Filter is, much like Sponge and The Cranberries, a different band than what people think. "Short Bus" has an alternative sound that reminds me of Sixteen Stone by Bush. While it's true, there aren't as many good songs on Short Bus like there are on Sixteen Stone, this is still an album that is worth getting at your local used CD store.
Upfront, I don't know much about this band. It's one of the albums that I bought, listened to a few times than forgot. Apparently the lead singer, Richard Patrick did some work with Nine Inch Nails and their influence is pretty noticeable. Like all good bands that have been influenced by other bands the sound is more homage than copycat. You can hear the influence but it still has a unique sound of it's own.
