I'd no idea Teenage Fanclub commanded such attention.

Teenage Fanclub are basically one of those bands that mean a great deal to the small cult following they have and virtually nobody else.

I don't ride for Teenage Fanclub but I loved Bandwagonwhatever when it came out & "Star Sign" is a jam so I voted for that. thought about "Bad Luck" too, think that's the only song by Social Distortion I know, it got a lot of MTV play at the time. love that Matthew Sweet album but "Girlfriend" isn't why. I kinda like "Suck My Kiss" too, maybe the only song by them I like except for "Soul to Squeeze".
thought about my usual lol vote instead but decided Live wasn't funny enough to bother.
I really dislike "Mysterious Ways" and "Come As You Are".

I don't mind Bandwagonesque myself, it's an okay record, but I've never really understood the high praise for it. My favourite track on it is the instrumental at the end, of all things! I do think Grand Prix is a better collection of songs, and I love their vocal harmonies, but... I dunno... Teenage Fanclub records tend to come across to me as well done, but not astounding.

Live: A name that a band probably would not choose in today's Google era. Unless they wanted to call themselves "Live (band)"...

Girls, Women, and Stars are all Google-era bands, so maybe they would have anyway....

Stars started ca. 2000, is that included in the search optimization era?

Occurs to me I've loved Teenage Fanclub for a longer span of years than I have any other band, and "Bandwagonesque" is only a small part of that. "Songs from Northern Britain" and "Man Made" mean the most to me. Pardon the alliteration.

"Star Sign" is great, although not as great as their "Everything Flows," which is only one of the greatest songs of all time.
― Chris L, Wednesday, 3 February 2016 03:44 (eight years ago) link
"God Knows It's True" is better.

When it comes to TFC, I 'm pretty much all about "Star Sign" & "Sparky's Dream"

any fans of Pixies' JAMC cover?
Oh hell yes, I rate the bands overall about equally but the Pixies version of this song crushes the original. Still wrestling between that, Mysterious Ways, and Girlfriend. I liked guitars in 1992.

I'm not on the Teenage Fanclub bandwagon (he he) per se, but damn if "What You Do to Me" isn't an awesome 2 minutes

Is there a poll devoted to Lou's ridiculous guitars of the 80s/90s?
