Let Me Come Over by Buffalo Tom

Let Me Come Over, Buffalo Tom's third album, landed on 10 March 1992, and it's the Boston band stepping out from the hardcore noise of their two J Mascis co-produced records to own up to their classic rock heroes: Neil Young, Van Morrison, Dylan, the Stones. Sean Slade and Paul Q. Kolderie produced with the band, cutting the basic tracks in three days in a converted church in Hurley, New York, then finishing up at Fort Apache in Cambridge.

Then Nevermind blew up mid-sessions, and Beggars Banquet paid Ron Saint Germain to remix the lot with the electric guitars shoved forward; only "Frozen Lake" kept the original mix. Singer and guitarist Bill Janovitz fought the remix and was rattled by it at first, but conceded how good it sounded. "Taillights Fade", a bleak song he has described as being about resignation and feeling old before your time, went out as a single with "Velvet Roof" and "Mineral" and became the fan favorite of the lot.
