    I'm a massive Nirvana fan. So, when i was searching on Google "Kurt Cobain's favorite bands" i discover that one of the seven bands on the list is Teenage Fanclub. Kurt said that "they are the best band in the world". I didn't knew who they were, so encouraged with that quote i started to listening their music, and oh boy... what a beautiful band. Song by song they are getting better and better, this is the my next album to hear, and just to hearing this song i know it's gonna be exciting. Said that, it makes me kinda sad all the songs Kurt missed about them, he would have been proud for the band's musical direction.

      " if you like this you have no taste in music." Pretty bold statement ontop of the rest of your completely subjective opinions.
      Music doesn't have to self indulgent and pontificating with musicians doing calculus on stage to be enjoyable.

      I loved it. But it was damn near a literal killer album for me on multiple occasions. While listening to the cassette, I got into an auto accident in my car. Then a couple years later, my friend had his cassette in. We got into an auto accident in his car. There was third incident. But I don't recall what it was. We deemed it a cursed album for us. But we kept listening anyway.

      Of def hearing those there here,def the Beatles/Beach Boys beautiful harmonies.Always great to have a band with everyone can sing (yes the drummer too) so many band to mention but look at Queen they all sang and the drummer Roger Taylor even sang lead "I'm in love with my car" and can be heard clearly in many queen tracks due to his voice is higher than Mercurys operatic range.Also can forget Brain May vocals and even John Deacon did some vocals but didn't do that much in live performances he seemed to get buried in the mix

    If she lived in space, man
    I'd build a plane
    Out of luck so beam me up
    To hear her talking again
    She painted pictures
    That never dried
    Always tried to keep the feeling alive
    Need a crystal ball to see her in the morning
    And magic eyes to read between the lines
    I take a wrong direction
    From a shooting star
    In the love dimension
    Fading fast from taking this too far
    That summer feeling is gonna fly
    Always try and keep the feeling inside
    Need a crystal ball to see her in the morning
    And magic eyes to read between the lines
    I took a wrong direction
    From a shooting star
    In the love dimension
    Fading fast from taking this to far

    For me, the classic Fannies lineup. The music from that period speaks for itself.
    Then again, pretty much every Teenage Fanclub period has basically ruled. So sorry to see Gerard (the author of this particular ditty) go, even if amicably, but pleased to see the group continuing after already enhancing our lives for 30 years. Already digging the upcoming single, one of Ray's songs: ua-cam.com/video/AffiHHlAbWQ/v-deo.html
