The Golden Age by Cracker
The Golden Age is an album by Cracker, released in 1996. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “I Hate My Generation”, on 2 lists with a best position of #88.
The Golden Age, Cracker's third studio album, came out on Virgin on April 2, 1996, with the band still riding the wake of Kerosene Hat, the 1993 record that had given them "Low", "Get Off This" and "Euro-Trash Girl". At the heart of it were the two men who started the band in 1990, singer David Lowery and guitarist Johnny Hickman, with Bob Rupe in the lineup by then.
Cracker never did pick one lane, mixing punk, grunge, psychedelia, country, blues and folk into their rock with a barroom shrug, and the singles here pull in different directions: the snotty-titled "I Hate My Generation", "Nothing to Believe In" and "Sweet Thistle Pie". Gentleman's Blues followed.
