What makes them special? Probably their originality combined with their ability to work together and make everything fit perfectly, like...the instruments always seem to feed off each other. Am I making sense?
God, please push me in the right direction
God, I'm hoping that you'll understand
God, I'm trying to make amends now
God, I'm asking for your guiding hand

i think its just that everyone in the band wrote songs and everyone brought his own style to the band which made it diverse and there wasnt many ego fights, at least that i know of.

In my own opinion. I'm probly wrong ¨.¨

Well, they were succesfull because of pop songs like "Everything about you"
Sooo all the Mtv freaks (sorry) were all crazy about it. But anyway thanks Mtv
or I wouldn't have known UKJ.

Next step was "Cats in the cradle". A good soft rock song. Can hit a large audience.
And it did. Then busy bee. And so on.

Here starts a difference. (I think)

Old Mtv freaks : "oh yeah UKJ, "everything about you", one of those rock band
form 1990, they did few good song then sucked. Like Stilksin and others."

We, Us (?) :
- "oooh black sabbath cover, sweet leaf"
- "wow that bass player rocks : funky fresh country club, same side"
- "wow wah wah guitar on same side, god, it's dean from infectious groove"

Metal and/or Soft and/or Funky, damn voice, damn bassist, damn guitar.
Not noisy.

I think the are underratted musicians too. None know them anymore.

What was the point of my post hmm I don't know anymore ;)

UKJ ROOOOOCCCCCKKKKKKKSSSSSS
and that's the point.

I think it's the mix of styles, and what makes me especially appreciate 'em is the blending of classy melodies and raw rock.
