Playlist Preview: Garbage

They tore through the rock scene of the mid 90s, offering grunge-style guitars, mixing, and “wall of sound” production quality as the backdrop for the angry, emotional and sultry lyrics of a red-headed Scot.

Their self-titled debut album and sophomore effort – ‘Version 2.0’ – sold millions and their songs were heavily featured in such films as ‘Big Daddy,’ ‘William Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet,’ and the James Bond movie ‘The World is Not Enough.’

While Shirley Manson, Butch Vig, Duke Erikson and Steve Marker are currently on an indefinite hiatus as a band – the music (and music videos) of Garbage left an undeniable mark on the music industry.

This week I will take a look at my favorite five songs from a band that has been a personal favorite since I discovered them my senior year of high school.

Be sure to check out the list in Thursday's Star - then come back to the blog for videos of each.
