"Stupid Girl" by Cold

The hard rock band from sunny Florida, ironically named Cold, scored their one and only top 100 hit with "Stupid Girl" in 2003. Despite being rather well-known, the song surprisingly only reached #87, but helped propel the album from which it came, "Year Of The Spider", to an admirable peak position of #3 on the Billboard Top 200.

To my ears, it was one of the most melodic songs Cold recorded to date, a sound they tried to expand on for their next album, "A Different Kind Of Pain". The album yielded no charting singles and stalled at #26, being criticized by some for lacking the aggressive edge fans had come to expect from Cold.
