I know the song through American Pie (I checked and that film wasn't released in Norway until December 1999 so there's a chance you didn't see it in the nineties)
I did see it, but probably not in December; it was a pretty busy month for me (military service, university entrance interview, probably visiting my family abroad for Christmas, millennium celebration…). So I'm technically correct! (TBKOC)
Yeah, that soundtrack didn't make any impression on me. I think the only contemporary song off there I was (already) listening to was "Celebrity Skin". I only came to appreciate "Flagpole Sitta" with Peep Show years later.
I liked Flagpole Sitta. Great catchy track that definitely takes me back to that time. I also liked Wooly Muffler off that album despite it not being a big pop hit.
As for Hole, I didn't like anything beyond the Live Through This album. Doll Parts, Miss World, I Think That I Would Die... Of course, there's also this gem:
Hole - Violet
Still probably one of my favorite songs of the era. Definitely their best. Somewhat reminds me of Everlong by the Foo Fighters, but maybe just because it's a clear winner for best track by the band in my mind.
Here are a couple more I'm reminded of:
Hum - The Pod
Of course Stars was the bigger hit, but this song is awesome. Good album overall.
Fulflej - Microwave
That one takes me back, but it's likely one most haven't heard.
And here's a track I just listened to that kinda fits in:
No Knife - Academy Flight Song
The 90's were pretty rad.
