"Better When You're Not Alone" by Black Crowes

One of the most successful bands to survive the grunge makeover of the 90s, the 70s-rock inspired style of The Black Crowes struck chords with millions of fans. Their first two albums sold a combined amount of over 7 million copies.

Despite the impressive album sales and devoted following, the Black Crowes never really had a song that burned up the charts. Their remake of Otis Redding's "Hard To Handle" marked the band's highest charting single, settling at #26.

Aside from their masterful debut, the album I find myself going back to the most is their fourth, "Three Snakes And One Charm". The record got to #15 on the Billboard Top 200, but failed to generate a Top 100 single. Among a bounty of terrific cuts, "Better When You're Not Alone" is a song that just puts me into a pleasant mood whenever I hear it.

Incidentally, the band's follow-up record, "By Your Side", is also outstanding.
