"Troubled Times" by Fountains of Wayne

Named after a lawn ornament shop in Wayne, New Jersey, the Fountains of Wayne began as a powerpop and rock duo consisting of Chris Collingwood and Adam Schlesinger. They had a minor hit right out of the gate in 1996 with "Radiation Vibe" cruising to #71. A devoted and loyal fanbase of powerpop junkies started to follow the band, which reached new heights in 2003 with the amusing "Stacy's Mom," which went to #21.

The first three Fountain of Wayne albums are like a holy trinity of pop rock masterpieces. What a roll these guys were on, yet hardly anyone but hard core fans knew of them. Take the wonderful song "Troubled Times" for instance, from their second album, "Utopia Parkway." The melodies, the harmonies, damn near perfection!

The band's music has been featured in tons of films and TV shows, but they never really got the attention they deserved. Their last album came out in 2011 and it appears they won't be doing anymore in the near future.
