MP3: Ludwig Bell - Kärlek slutar alltid med bråk

xxx: Ludwig Bell sounds so lame
xxx: Like fucking Jumper
me: hahha
xxx: it sounds exactly the same
me: wow
me: it does
xxx: swindie was not always amazing

It's true: Ludwig Bell really does sound a lot like Jumper, though I disagree with my friend's implication that it's not that great. Yes, prime-era 90s Swindie really wasn't always top-notch and sure, maybe Jumper are justifiably relegated to the list of also-rans, but I really don't mind them at all and neither do I mind Ludwig Bell. It's not "amazing", but it's still good pop music as far as I'm concerned. Probably helps that I didn't grow up subjected to the stuff though; chances are high I might not be so charitable in such a case. But who knows? I find myself enjoying a lot of music I once hated as a surly teen.

Can't we just skip ahead to the grunge revival?
