Mr. Jones by Counting Crows
Mr. Wendal, Mr. Brightside, Mr. Big Stuff, Mr. Tambourine Man, Mr. Sandman, Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Soul. Mister Mister. All worthy in their own Misterly ways, but none dominated that sweet spot between grunge, gangster rap, and line dancing country that dreadlocked Adam Duritz and his bandmates did in the spring of '94 (the song was released in December '93).
While Counting Crows had several albums and other hit songs and Duritz became something of a Don Juan on the dating circuit (including two of the three Friends actresses), it feels like they jumped to the summit immediately and nothing afterward could measure up to this catchy firecracker of a song.
