74: Teenage Fanclub’s Bandwagonesque (1991)

1977They weren’t just “that band that sounds like Big Star”, ok? They’re Loveless and they pre-date Stoned and Dethroned, and they’re fucking gorgeous and dense melody wrapped in some kind of bizarre experimental paper. “What You Do to Me” has appeared on more mix tapes than I’d care to mention (I’m really not that much of a glutton for punishment, I swear), and this entire album will always be one of my sentimental favorites.

Teenage Fanclub “Metal Baby” (mp3)

Awesome album. Plus pushed out “Nevermind” and “Loveless” to be Spin’s best album of 1991. (Granted it’s Spin, and they would probably retract that one in hindsight.)
