“I Don't Know Anything” by Mad Season appears on 6 radio countdowns from 2 stations between 1995 and 2002. It was first released in 1995 on the album Above. Its best result is #523 on the KISW Top 1000 of All Time (1995). In the combined RockLists rankings it is #6,425 alternative song of all time.
Mad Season pulled "I Don't Know Anything" off Above, the one and only studio album they ever made, and sent it out as that record's second single in 1995. Layne Staley wrote the words, and the music belongs to Mike McCready, Barrett Martin and John Baker Saunders. The verses ride a droning, overdriven guitar line built around harmonics, thick as fog.
Radio stations across North America and beyond got the single, but the only place you could actually buy it was Austria. It reached 20 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks. The band had first played it live at the Crocodile Cafe in Seattle on October 12, 1994; a live take turned up on the single itself, and another performance made it onto the Live at the Moore home video.
