Faith No More are best know for their intense, brooding style of funk metal. Becoming increasingly weird with each album after Mr. Bungle singer Mike Patton joined the band.
In 1992 FNM released Angel Dust, their second album with Patton on vocals. As a single, they mystified and delighted both fans and mainstream audiences with a cover of a 1997 hit by The Commodores, Easy;

Perhaps FNM just wanted to prove that they could play more easy-listening music - well - and that they didn't make weird, loud music because it's all they knew how to do with their instruments. But because they *chose* to.

Well for me it was Friday night (in the sense that the sun hadn't started to come up yet) ; )

All my favourite music acts in the 90s were cartoonish. Beck, Ween, Primus, Tall Dwarfs, Weezer, Chilli Peppers and Head Like a Hole (back then), Supergroove (early singles for sure), Pop Wil Eat Itself, They Might Be Giants, for Pete's sake, need I go on? :-P
