414 of 1001 Albums: Teenage Fanclub's Bandwagonese

There is something very rock about Teenage Fanclub, but it's honestly very difficult for me to get past their name. I thought I was going to be listening to something a lot more poppy. Instead there are a lot of catchy guitar parts and you have a lead singer who does match his vocals well to the tone of the album. In a way the album is very teenager, and with talent.

History: This Scottish band would become popular because Spin would have them voted as the best album of 1991, beating out Nirvana's album, Nevermind. Considering the popularity of that album it's a huge feat for this band. "Star Sign" would become the band's biggest hit in the U.S. Just to warn though that the bag with a dollar sign on it is actually trademarked by Gene Simmons, so the band had to pay him a fee for using the image on their cover. Ridiculous right? The influence this band had is still prominent with bands who hear nowadays though like Jimmy Eat World.
