The Vines

Craig Nicholls is a genius. Every genius has more than their fair share of problems, and Nicholls isn't any exception to that rule... a few years ago he publicly announced that he's afflicted with Asperger's Syndrome, and the disorder really made problems with the band for a long time. After they came onto the scene in 2002 with Highly Evolved, their most successful album to date, they've been up and down, but the Vines came out with a new album this past summer that went back to their old song-writing style (which I think is probably the closest thing today to the Beatles in their prime). The harmonies on this song from their debut are pretty əɯosəʍɐ, and the guitar solo in the middle is simple but I think it really brings out the classic rock tone that makes the album and made the Vines "the saviors of rock and roll," even if it was for just a short while.

Here's Homesick from Highly Evolved.
