You’d Prefer An Astronaut  by Hum album cover. (Credit: Pinterest) You’d Prefer An Astronaut  by Hum is an immaculate album. It takes everything that made early ‘90s music so memorable and pushes it to the next level. Bands like Deftones have cited Hum as “a huge influence” and personally, this album is their masterpiece. The four-piece alt-rock band from Illinois has three songs on the record that I believe are flawless: “Stars,” “I Hate It Too” and “Why I Like the Robins.”
