Wondermints Appreciation Thread

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

Sure, they're a great backing band, but their own albums are incredible!

Here's What I Think...

Wondermints= 10/10
Wonderful World Of...= 8/10
Bali= 9/10
Mind if we Make Love To You?= 9/10

The Wondermints are not Brian's backup band. MEMBERS of The Wondermints are members of Brian's backup band.

WHAT? you guys are kidding right?

If all that an appreciation thread for the Wondermints can offer is a rather simple, one-sided look at the music, I can see why others would reach that conclusion. Of course, I've LISTENED to the Wondermints and agree with Mr. cablegeddon.

Oh come on,  I don't think there has been music written that's THAT bad!

The Wondermints are alright, but if we're talking 90's powerpop there is only Jellyfish. The 'Mints are a tad bland in comparison, the songs aren't up to snuff.

Ah I was about to say I love me some Wondermints but then you go and mention Jellyfish!  The Mints don't hold up there, but then those 2 Jellyfish LPs are to my mind the best music of the 1990s.  Regardless though, they are great musicians who made a lot of cool good music and the Summer in Paradise/Kokomo put down is insipid.
