Very sad. FoW are/were a great guitar pop band who really know how to write a good hook. This is their finest hour for me :

I wasn't sure about the video, but after I'd watched it for the 53rd time, it started to grow on me !! ;)

Sad news.

Fountains Of Wayne, in my opinion provided some of best hook-laden pop of the 90's and 00's.

"Bright Future in Sales" from the terrific "Welcome Interstate Managers" album.

Weather and Traffic - one of my favourite ever albums

Sort of a modern day Kinks

Great music in the film “Music n Lyrics”

I’m off to listen to Hackensack
