The Best of the Lemonheads: The Atlantic Years

The Lemonheads are one of those bands whose actual albums I'll probably never need to own - a best of is basically perfect for me. I associate their music inescapably with high school - "It's A Shame About Ray", "The Outdoor Type", "If I Could Talk I'd Tell You", and, of course, the ubiquitous "Mrs Robinson" (which I remember taping off the radio and listening to plenty...I wonder what happened to all those old tapes?). Fuzzy guitared power-pop in the classic 90s style - makes me all nostalgic!
