I’d never gotten into Teenage Fanclub and found them overrated, so this greatest hits package is perfect for me. It doesn’t whet my appetite for more – I’m not going to run out and buy all their albums – but it’s great to have some of their best songs on hand, if I’m ever in the mood.

While I ordinarily like bands that do the Hollies-style vocal harmonies over drab grunge melodies, TF never really stuck with me the way Galaxie 500 had. But after a half dozen albums, a best-of is a great idea, and maybe it will help the new generation of fans of edgy power pop discover them.

Bottom Line:
Notable Tracks: Ain’t That Enough, I Need Direction, Hang On
Overall Rating:
