"Golden Blunders" by The Posies

The Posies, led by the duo Ken Stringfellow and Jon Auer, seemed poised to take over the charts in the 90s when they stormed onto the music scene with their major label debut album, "Dear 23." The album garnered plenty of critical acclaim and could serve as a textbook for anyone who wants to learn how to write melody and harmony. Alas, none of this helped the band obtain success on the charts.

"Golden Blunders" is taken from this album, which also offers outstanding cuts like "Everyone Moves Away," "You Avoid Parties," and "Suddenly Mary." Their follow-up records deviated from their acoustic-driven sound in favor of more grunge like tones, but adopting that trend still didn't help round up more fans. In-between solo records and other projects, the pair has released 8 records.

"Golden Blunders" was also covered by Ringo Starr on his 1992 album, "Time Takes Time."
