The Other One: Fastball, "Fire Escape"



Fastball is best known for their quirky late-90's anthem "The Way," but their follow-up single is not only equally catchy but perhaps even more quintessentially 90's, with its Post-Tom Petty-come-Gin Blossoms guitar and harmonic vocals. Throw in the morning-after slow jam "Out Of My Head," and you get a surprisingly underrated trio of singles from the most culturally-excellent decade.
