themusicaddict's Greatest CDs of All-Time: Fountains Of Wayne's "Welcome Interstate Managers" (Partial blog)

Hello,

"Welcome Interstate Managers" was released on June 10th, 2003. This is the third CD by Fountains of Wayne, and far and away their best CD. According to wikipedia.org the name of the CD was taken from a hotel marquee sign.

Obviously the CD received notice because of the song and video for "Stacy's Mom". The incredibly catching song featuring Rachel Hunter as Stacy's Mom- "she's got it going on". But one song doesn't make a classic CD. A classic CD has to have several great songs and this indeed has that. Other great songs include "Bright Future In Sales", "Hackensack", "Peace and Love", "Mexican Wine" and "All Kinds of Time". 

The good news about Fountains of Wayne is that they didn't peak with their first CD. The bad news about Fountain of Wayne is that they peaked with their third CD. They seem to be another band who saved their best songs for one CD only.

Sadly no one has made a Youtube video for the entire CD.
