Glad you’re enjoying it Rob. Isn’t it great when a band/album you’d previously dismissed turns out to be really good?

Now you’re listening to “Bandwagonesque” I won’t be feeling guilty when I don’t make it my album of the week!

I’d love to see this pop up for Albumoftheweek! I’ve never really paid attention to this band because they seemed a boring radio thing. Maybe I haven’t heard the right songs.

This album was in the final shortlist of 3 for my album of the week choice in a couple of weeks. I’ll cross it off now!!

Perfect album, never tire of listening to it. In my humble opinion, it’s British indie’s greatest achievement.

Ironic, that when it was released The Fannies were called unimaginative for “ripping off Big Star/The Byrds” and just a couple of years later Suede, then Oasis were “The future of British rock”!

I’m also a massive fan of their “Grand Prix” album which is less noise and more pop.

I had the cassette in my freshman year. I was convinced the tone bend at the end of “Alcoholiday” (?) was a pressing flaw until I bought the CD years later.

That’s some classic alternative right there. Played that damn CD out my freshman year of college.
