The Breeders - "CannonBall"
The Breeders were basically a side project for 'Pixies' member Kim Deal and ended up being her full-time band after the demise of the Pixies. Kurt Cobain was a big fan and they opened for Nirvana on a 1992 tour. Their second album 'Last Splash' was released in 1993 and it more than satisfied any diehard Pixies fan. "Cannonball" was one of the greatest songs from the 90's... the driving bass gets it going and it is like a roller coaster ride thereafter... when you hear this song it takes you along for a three and a half minute ride... it will never just be music in the background.
The following comment was written by someone on youtube "If you don't like this song you're probably a sexist heavy metal asshole that dislikes this song for gender related reasons. Fuck you". A bit harsh... but you have to love their passion.
