i know you'r a huge fan mike, i don't mean to troll...

when i hear them i picture all the elements of pop music - lyrics, melody, chord changes - being fed into a computer and the result is "fountains of wayne"

that's what i meant by "soulless"
Avatar 12:55pm
Michael Shelley:

Dave - no sweat - there's room for dissent! I think their songs come from a good place - plus the albums are full of less poppy, more heartfelt songs - that I dont play on the radio so often - but I hear what you're saying
