...it's likely that none of these other people have heard their later stuff. The hits in the 90s were fine. But of the 42 "favorite" songs I have in the Collective Soul folder, most of them are from the 00s and later. Dosage is indeed their best start to finish... nearly every song is great. But there are another 20+ from the 2000s thru today that are just as good that were never released as singles. Sure, it may only be 3-4 songs per album that are great, but there are songs from Blender, Youth and Collective Soul [2009] that are just as good as anything they've done. And this one from Blood [2019] is fantastic:
I'm here on this hill fighting with you, but it's a losing battle when you're fighting against a group that isn't familiar with the music. I think it's more disinterest than dislike. Not likely to win that fight, unfortunately.
