[Edited from Wikipedia]
The third album brought the first great Teenage Fanclub material and with it commercial success. The album was more deliberately constructed, the hooks became stronger, the guitar riffs were brought under control, and the harmony vocals took shape. Bandwagonesque won Spin magazine's 1991 end-of-year poll for best album, beating Nirvana's Nevermind, their Creation stablemates My Bloody Valentine's album Loveless, and R.E.M.'s hugely successful Out of Time. Contains singles and live staples The Concept, Star Sign, What You Do To Me and Alcoholiday. For many this remains a favourite album, but the best was yet to come.
