Few bands bridged the contentious ’90s divide between underground grunge and pop-rock superstardom quite as seamlessly as Georgia’s Collective Soul. You'd be hard-pressed to find someone who didn't recognise "December" or "Shine", both chart-topping and award-winning tracks, but the band’s legacy goes beyond their top singles. The array of bangers here range from powerful, metal-evoking riffs with nostalgia-inducing violins and whispered vocals to euphoric pop choruses that beg you to sing along, lighter in hand.
