In 1992, it seemed that the only buzzword for rock music was grunge. Suede's debut single, "The Drowners", came out that year though and, with a bucking the dressing down trend and embracing Bowie and Bolan instead of Black Sabbath and Black Flag, served as a bit of an antithesis to all that chatter and groan.
Well, at least in the UK it did.
In 2014, NME made a 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list. "The Drowners" came in at number 104. Popmatters did a poll of the 100 greatest alternative singles of the 90's and the song landed at the number 40 position.
