"What You Do To Me" by Teenage Fanclub

A buzz as loud as their guitars surrounded Teenage Fanclub in the early 90s, a Scottish band that kind of merged power pop with grunge. Their 1991 album "Bandwagonesque" beat out the likes of Nirvana and R.E.M. to win Spin's poll for album of the year.

But at least in the US, the hype never amounted to much and Teenage Fanclub remains obscure and uncharted. Not sure why. The songs were catchy, the harmonies delectable, and the guitar tones matched the era. 

"What You Do To Me" is a simple pop song from "Bandwagonesque" but I can't resist wanting to hear it over and over again. Other highlights from this excellent record worth checking out include "The Concept," "December," and "Alcoholiday."
