In a time where pop music was dominated by dance-fueled R&B, slick hard rock, and a burgeoning alternative scene, Matthew Sweet's 1991 major label breakthrough album "Girlfriend" was a refreshing throwback to Beatles-esque recording techniques and guitar-jangle melodies inspired by the Byrds. And, boy, did it resonate. Sweet's songs about heartache and longing, combined with an all-star backing band led by Television's Richard Lloyd, resulted in songs like "Girlfriend" and "I've Been Waiting" undoubtedly finding their way on to a ton of mix tapes. Throw in some faith-questioning tunes like "Divine Intervention" and "Evangeline," and you had an album that was gut-punch to American teenagers everywhere.
