90s Songs I Like: "Plowed" Sponge (1994)

Tweet

“Will I wake up? Some dream I made up No, I guess it’s reality Say a prayer for me” I liked this song from the get go. “Plowed” blasts off with supercharged energy and roars to the end. Sponge is a Detroit alternative rock band that is still together and never made it to the big time. From their debut CD “Rotting Pinata,” “Plowed” is Sponge’s best known song reaching Modern Rock#5. The band’s only Billboard Hot 100 entry was “Molly” at #55. “I’m buried by the sound of a world of human wreckage Where I’m lost and found and I can’t touch the ground I’m plowed into the ground” What an uplifting song! From grunge to Britpop, depressing songs dominated the alternative music scene in the 90s. That is the appeal You can identity and emphasize with the words. Unlike a Nirvana song, “Plowed” is a raucous rocker that happens to be a downer as opposed to wallowing and moaning and groaning in misery. “Will I wake up?
