Matthew Sweet – “Girlfriend”
Hard to believe that the record of the same name came out almost 20 years ago, after Matthew Sweet was dropped from his label. His rocking power pop complimented his sugary sweet melodies, making this record a breakthrough smash. Along with “I’ve Been Waiting” and “Evangeline”, this song gave Sweet national acclaim, and continues to sound fresh today with its stacked harmonies and shredding bluesy guitar.
