Great freakin album.

It's the only one I own so I really have no frame of reference.

All I know is whenever a song from it pops up on the Ipod I'm happy it did. When the last song is about half way through and I'm saying to myself, "what the hell is this?", I look at the song title and it always makes me laugh........"Is this Music?".

Brilliant.

Gotta give it to Grand Prix. "Sparky's Dream" is the quintessential TF song.

i disagree. i think bandwagonesque is a great guitar-centric, brit rock album. but simply as a matter of taste i prefer their even more byrds/big star inspired albums like "Grand Prix" and "Songs From NB". i like TF's melodic bursts of power pop with thick harmonies rather than the sonic attacks of "bw" or "catholic education"

This is about Teenage Fanclub, no? I saw them open for Radiohead at the 9:30 Club once. And WHFS used to play "Hang On". That's about all I can say.

No, that would be Songs From Northern Britain

Grand Prix is a close second to Songs From Northern Britain. Start Again is my favourite song of their's, without question.

You are all wrong. Thirteen is their best. Bandwagonesque is their second best. Not really a bad album in their whole lot though.

I'll always have an affection for 'Bandwagonesque' since I was 18 when it came out and it made me realise there was a great music scene on my own doorstep.

However 'Grand Prix' is The Fannies at their peak. The thing about Teenage Fanclub was they had THREE great songwriters, all with an identifiable style of their own.

I have to agree, however, I think that Songs From Northern Britain is awfully, awfully close.

I'd say it's a toss up between this and Song From Northern Britain.

"Songs..." is it for me.

Your Love is the Place Where I Come From is by far one of the best songs of the nineties. Let alone it's part of the best five song closer in recent memory. Very few albums end as good as "Songs..."

I wore out my cassette of Bandwagonesque when I listened to it for practically an entire semester in junior high... "Ain't That Enough" is probably my favorite song of theirs, but no album will ever top that one for me, no matter how good (and enjoyable) the other ones are...
