"Interface" by Extreme

Extreme hit it big in 1991 with their beautiful acoustic ballad "More Than Words." The tune went to #1 and introduced the world to the amazing vocal chemistry between Gary Cherone and Nuno Bettencourt. The Boston-based rock band had a #4 follow-up hit with another acoustic ditty, "Hole Hearted". The hard rock they were best known for never made its way onto the charts.

After an extended break that included solo efforts, numerous other bands, playing guitar for Rihanna (Nuno), and Cherone's high-profile but ill-fated stint in Van Halen, Extreme reunited to make their fourth album, "Saudades de Rock" (2008). The song "Interface" originally appeared on a Nuno project called "DramaGods," but sounds even better with Cherone's harmonies. A gorgeous although heartbreaking song either way.
