Every album is full of gems that go far beyond “Stacy’s Mom”. I go over their history, every album, Adam Schlesinger’s untimely death, and argue that they were one of the most important unsung bands in history.Do you know Fountains of Wayne beyond “Stacy’s Mom”? Are you a power pop fan? Are you aware of how prolific Adam Schlesinger was? Do you think Fountains of Wayne deserve more recognition? Discuss dammit!BONUS MxTRA: Where does Fountains of Wayne rank in the POWER POP TOP TEN?~~~~*intro music credit: REC - "Wake Up High" Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
