Teenage Fanclub
It's kind of like if Big Star decided to be louder and more guitar-driven. I've really really been loving Bandwagonesque, probably one of the best pop albums of the 90s.

Grand Prix is good.
A Catholic Education is my fave , it's a little bit more ballsy.

Bandwagonesque is where it's at. A really good album, i should really get some more Teenage Fanclub.
I saw them live in January, they were pretty cool but I only knew about a quarter of the songs...still a good show though. |

I really love Teenage Fanclub - although if you mention it these days, people assume you're just into jangly guitar Byrds / Big Star type bands. It all started with 'A Catholic Education' for me - 'Everything Flows' has to be one of the best Fanclub tracks ever. They've shown some real diversity during their career - from the hard edged debut through to more experimental noise stuff on 'The King' and pure pop harmonies on many of the later albums. A personal career progression tracklisting for me would include:
Everything Flows Mudhoney Star Sign Sparky's Dream Mellow Doubt Neil Jung Ain't That Enough Winter I Need Direction Fallen Leaves In fact, I feel a ten track compilation coming on... |
