"Collective Soul was one of the first non-grunge rock bands to incorporate some of the hallmarks of grunge, namely the loud crunchy guitars, thus ushering in the 'post-grunge' movement. Their albums mixed some hard-rocking anthemic songs like "Shine" and "Gel" along with pretty ballads such as "The World I Know" to create a radio-friendly sound that was perfect for the mid-'90s airwaves. That riff from "Shine" was inescapable and got stuck in many music listeners' heads whether they liked it or not. The band's second album greatly improved upon the debut and it sounded like a band truly coming into their own. For myself and many others, Collective Soul was the quintessential mainstream rock band of the mid-1990s as they proved that 'mainstream' and 'radio-friendly' did not necessarily have to mean dull."
