Responsible for hits such as "If I Had $1000000", "One Week", "Its All Been Done", "Pinch Me", and "Brian Wilson". They have a massive back catalog of top-notch rock and pop songs that is often overlooked and overshadowed by their better-known "jokey" songs. <BR/><BR/>Their first three albums "Gordon", "Maybe You Should Drive", and "Born On A Pirate Ship" showcase some of their more odd and quirkier material, <BR/><BR/>"Stunt" is a more mainstream-sounding record than the first three yet is still quirkier and more original than much other mainstream pop of its time, <BR/><BR/>"Maroon", produced by Don Was was billed as the Ladies' first "no-jokes" album, filled with solid songwriting and great production-Brian Wilson visited the Ladies at the studio during the recording of this album to tell them he was covering their song "Brian Wilson", <BR/><BR/>"Everything to Everyone" narrowly avoids being "Maroon II"-good songs except for the single, great production but does not cover much new ground-avoid the single from that album, "Another Postcard" at all costs, <BR/><BR/>"Barenaked Ladies Are Me" and "Barenaked Ladies Are Men" aren't awe-inspiring, won't convert any new fans, but are beyond satisfactory for the band's existing fanbase. <BR/><BR/>Recommended tracks:<BR/>The entire "Gordon", "Maybe You Should Drive", and "Born On A Pirate Ship" albums.<BR/>Light Up My Room<BR/>I'll Be That Girl<BR/>In The Car<BR/>Leave<BR/>When You Dream<BR/>Some Fantastic<BR/>Tonight Is The Night I Fall Asleep At The Wheel<BR/>Conventioneers<BR/>Helicopters<BR/>Off The Hook<BR/>War On Drugs<BR/>Aluminum<BR/>Unfinished<BR/>Bank Job<BR/>Maybe You're Right<BR/>Beautiful<BR/>Fun and Games<BR/>The New Sad<BR/>Everything Had Changed<BR/>AdriftAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
